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, and other indicators, while watching closely the countries of the currencies you trade the most.

The Economic Calendar is your companion and 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 from its last release. The release frequency varies depending on the indicator and may be monthly, quarterly, or another period.

For most indicators, we also add a Consensus number, which represents the general agreement of experts on the expected outcome.

When the Actual data is released, it is displayed immediately.

Tip…

The US economic calendar is the most important one since the country has the largest economy in the world. The most important indicators mainly impact the price of the dollar and often affect other markets and currencies as well.

The organizations that publish the most meaningful indicators, and therefore carry the greatest market impact, include the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US Census Bureau, and the Energy Information Administration.

Of special interest are the Federal Reserve decisions, usually announced by Governor Jerome Powell.
