Economic Calendar
See every high, medium and low impact release for the week, live — the same events our weekly market analysis is built around.
Read the calendar like a fundamentals trader
Filter by impact
Focus on high-impact, red-flagged events first — they're the ones most likely to move price sharply.
Compare forecast vs. previous
The market usually reacts to the surprise — how far the actual figure lands from the forecast, not the number alone.
Plan around the release
Many traders widen stops or step aside just before major releases, then reassess once volatility settles.
Economic calendar — common questions
What counts as a "high-impact" event?+
High-impact events are releases historically shown to move currency prices significantly — think central bank interest rate decisions, non-farm payrolls, and CPI inflation data.
Should I trade during high-impact news?+
It's higher risk: spreads widen and price can whip in both directions within seconds. Many traders reduce position size or wait until the initial volatility passes before entering.
What time zone are events shown in?+
The calendar widget automatically displays times based on your device and browser settings.
Where can I get a plain-language read on the week's events?+
Our weekly market analysis on the homepage breaks down the events most likely to affect open positions in simple language, updated every week.
