Economic Calendar

An economic calendar is a tool that displays scheduled economic events, announcements, and indicators from major economies. It includes GDP releases, inflation data, employment reports, central bank decisions, and other events that can impact financial markets, especially forex, stocks, and commodities.

Use the calendar to plan your trades around high-impact events. Filter by impact level (High, Medium, Low) to focus on events that typically cause significant market volatility. Check the actual vs forecast vs previous values to gauge market reactions. High-impact events like central bank decisions and employment reports often cause the most price movement.

Impact levels indicate how much an economic event typically affects market volatility: High (3 stars) - Major market-moving events like central bank decisions, GDP, employment data; Medium (2 stars) - Moderate impact events like inflation reports, retail sales; Low (1 star) - Minor events with limited market impact. Non-economic events have no market impact.

The economic calendar is updated in real-time as new events are scheduled or data is released. The "Last Run" timestamp shows when the data was last refreshed. Events are typically scheduled weeks or months in advance, with actual values updated immediately after official releases.

The calendar displays comprehensive event details including date, time, currency, country, impact level, event name, event type, actual values, forecast values, previous values, revisions, and better/worse indicators. All data is updated in real-time as events are scheduled or released.

The calendar covers major economies and currencies including USD (United States), EUR (Eurozone), GBP (United Kingdom), JPY (Japan), AUD (Australia), CAD (Canada), CHF (Switzerland), CNY (China), and NZD (New Zealand). Events from other major economies are also included.

Actual is the released value of the economic indicator. Forecast is the market consensus expectation before the release. Previous is the value from the last release. Comparing actual vs forecast shows if the data beat or missed expectations, which drives market reactions. A better-than-expected actual typically strengthens the currency.
