What is the Economic Calendar?

You can get up-to-date information on significant global economic events and metrics by using our platform.

The Economic Calendar, powered by Investing.com, makes sure you never miss an important update.

 

WHY SHOULD I USE IT?

If you are a fundamental or a news trader, it’s a must…

To trade Forex through fundamental analysis, you have to check how economies around the world are doing based on their macroeconomic data (such as GDP, employment, consumption data, inflation, etc.), watching closely the countries of the currencies you are trading the most. The Economic Calendar is your companion, a tab that should always be open on your computer.

If you do not care about macroeconomics when trading, is it still a useful tool?

Avoid bad surprises; you can check when high volatility data is expected to be released in order to better manage your trades.

HOW TO…

…READ IT?

Actual/Deviation/Consensus/Previous

For all economic calendar indicators, you will find the Previous number: which is the data in its last release (the frequency of data release is variable; it can be last month, last trimester, etc.). For most indicators, we add a Consensus number: which is a general agreement of experts on the outcome of the number. When the Actual data is released, it’s immediately displayed.

 

Tip…

The US economic calendar is the most important one since the country has the largest world economy. The most important indicators mainly impact the price of the dollar, having important effects in other markets and currencies.
The organizations that publish the most meaningful indicators, the ones that carry the greatest impact in the markets, are the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US Census Bureau & the Energy Information Administration. Of special interest are the Federal Reserve decisions, usually announced by Governor Jerome Powell.
