Search authoritative financial news and economic calendars (e.g., Bloomberg, Reuters, CNBC, MarketWatch, Investing.com, official government and central bank sites). Focus on upcoming events for this week (Monday–Sunday), including but not limited to: Central bank meetings and policy announcements (e.g., Fed, ECB, BoJ, BoE, PBoC). Major economic data releases (e.g., CPI, PPI, jobs reports, GDP, retail sales, PMI). Major geopolitical events or elections with potential market impact. Notable regulatory or legislative developments.

Summary — key points for the week of December 9–15, 2024 - Central bank action - The Fed recently cut the federal funds target range by 0.25 percentage point to 4.25%–4.50%. One dissenter (Beth M. Hammack) preferred to keep the range at 4.50%–4.75%. - Headline economic data - U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.9% year-over-year (Dec 2023 → Dec 2024). - Calendar / data sources - Authoritative economic calendars include Bloomberg, Reuters, MarketWatch, Investing.com, Trading Economics, and official sites such as the Federal Reserve and Bureau of Labor Statistics. Trading Economics and the New York Fed were noted as maintaining near–real-time event schedules. - Limitations - The available search results did not list specific release dates/times for major U.S. indicators (CPI, PPI, jobs, GDP, retail sales, PMI) during the Dec 9–15, 2024 week. - Recommendation - For exact dates/times and real‑time updates during that week, consult the Bloomberg, Reuters, MarketWatch, Trading Economics calendars and the official BLS/Fed release schedules.

Search reliable financial and corporate sources (e.g., Bloomberg, Reuters, CNBC, company investor relations sites, Nasdaq, SEC filings, PRNewswire, company blogs, and major tech/auto news outlets). Focus on events occurring this week (Monday–Sunday), such as: Earnings reports from large-cap or high-volatility companies. Product launches, special events, or keynotes (e.g., Apple Event, Tesla Investor Day, NVIDIA GTC). Investor/analyst days or major conferences (e.g., JPMorgan Healthcare Conference). Corporate actions (mergers, IPOs, stock splits, buybacks, leadership changes). Regulatory or legal developments directly affecting major firms. For each event, provide: Company name & ticker Date & time Event type Brief description of what’s expected or being announced Why it matters: summarize the potential market implications, investor sentiment, and relevant context (e.g., past event performance, current stock momentum, analyst expectations). Prioritize events with broad market or sector influence, e.g. Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla, NVIDIA, major banks, or other market movers.

Summary (cleaned, concise) — Corporate events for Dec 9–15, 2024 Key conclusion - There appear to have been few major, broad-market corporate events (large-cap earnings, product launches, big M&A) during Dec 9–15, 2024. Most high‑profile events around that period occurred outside the target week. Search limitations found - Major public earnings calendars did not reliably display historical listings specifically for Dec 9–15, 2024. - Some tech conferences and company events fell just outside the week, making it harder to attribute market movers to that exact window. Notable events that were outside (but close to) the week - Amazon re:Invent: Dec 2–6, 2024 (Las Vegas) — just before the target week. - Apple product activity occurred earlier in fall 2024 (Oct 15 and Oct 28–30, 2024). - NVIDIA GTC listed for March 16–19, 2026 (not relevant to Dec 2024). JPMorgan Healthcare Conference timing - The JPMorgan Healthcare Conference took place in January 2025 (Jan 13–16, 2025), not in Dec 2024. This explains heavier corporate/sector activity in mid‑January rather than in the Dec 9–15 week. Market/sector context - Biotech/pharma M&A was weak in 2024, with no deals above ~$5 billion for the year, suggesting limited large healthcare transactions in December 2024. Recommended next steps to find precise events for Dec 9–15, 2024 - Check historical entries on Wall Street Horizon or other paid earnings calendars. - Review company investor‑relations pages and press releases for 8-K filings dated Dec 9–15, 2024. - Search Bloomberg, Reuters, and CNBC archives for that week’s headlines. Bottom line - Available search results indicate limited major corporate announcements during Dec 9–15, 2024; confirm any specific company events by checking the sources above (IR sites, SEC 8‑Ks, and archival news).
