Economic Calendar

An Economic Calendar is a tool used by traders, investors, economists, and analysts to track important scheduled economic events and data releases that can impact financial markets. These events include things like:

• Economic indicators (e.g., GDP reports, inflation rates, employment data)
• Central bank announcements (e.g., interest rate decisions, policy statements)
• Government reports (e.g., trade balances, budget releases)
• Speeches by key policymakers

The calendar shows the date and time when these events will be released, often along with the expected figures and previous data for comparison. Market participants use this information to anticipate market volatility, make informed trading decisions, and manage risk.

In summary

• It’s a schedule of key economic events.
• Helps forecast market movements.
• Used widely in forex, stock, bond, and commodities trading.
