Economic calendar

Some days have scheduled "big news": jobs numbers, inflation numbers, central bank meetings. Prices can jump around those moments, like a cat when the doorbell rings.

How to read this

• Time: shown in your local time (your device's time zone).
• Importance: the little bars or colours show how much an event usually moves markets. Use the filter in the widget to show only the big ones.
• Actual / Forecast / Prior: what came out, what people expected, and last time's number. Surprises (actual far from forecast) are what tend to cause the jumps.
• Many traders simply avoid opening a trade just before a big event. Our Trade Compass checklist has a box for it.

Education only, not financial advice. No signals. Backtests are hypothetical: real trading can be worse. Past results don't predict future results.
