What is the economic calendar?
A list of upcoming economic releases — interest-rate decisions, inflation, jobs, growth figures and speeches — that move currencies, gold and indices. Each event shows its expected impact, the forecast and the previous figure, and the actual number once it is published.
Why do we have one?
Prices can jump dozens of pips in seconds when news comes out. Check the calendar before every trade, avoid opening positions just before high-impact news,.
