Economic calendar
Every macro event of the week that moves the forex market, with its impact, the currency affected and the actual figure versus the forecast as soon as it prints.
Frequently asked questions
1What do the impact levels mean?
Impact estimates how much an event can move the market. High (red) are the biggest movers — rate decisions, inflation, jobs; medium (amber) has a moderate effect; low (grey) rarely moves price on its own. Filter by impact to keep only what matters to you.
2Which timezone are the times shown in?
By default, your browser’s timezone, so you see each event’s local time with no mental math. You can switch to UTC with the Local | UTC selector; the calendar regroups events by day according to the chosen zone.
3What are forecast, actual and previous?
The forecast is what analysts expect; the actual is the figure that prints; the previous is the prior reading. The surprise — how far the actual lands from the forecast — is what usually moves the currency: we mark green when the actual beats the forecast and red when it misses.
4How often is it updated?
The week’s list refreshes hourly; the actual figures appear shortly after each release. The calendar is sourced from ForexFactory and results are filled in as soon as they are available.
5Why does price jump right on these events?
Because the market has already priced in the forecast; what moves price is the gap between what was expected and what prints. A figure far from the forecast forces the currency to reprice at once, and that is where volatility spikes. That is why it pays to know what is on the calendar before you trade.
