Economic Calendar FAQ

What is an economic calendar?

An economic calendar lists scheduled data releases and central bank decisions, with the time, the previous figure, the consensus estimate and, once it is out, the actual figure. Traders use it to know when volatility is likely, to avoid opening trades just before a big release, and to plan trades around the results.

What time zone are these times in?

All times on this page are UTC. New York is UTC-4 in summer and UTC-5 in winter, London is UTC+1 in summer and UTC in winter, so US releases at 8:30 a.m. New York time show as 12:30 or 13:30 UTC.

What does high impact mean?

Impact is the calendar provider's rating of how much a release usually moves its currency. High-impact releases, such as US payrolls, CPI and central bank decisions, can move prices by several times the normal amount within minutes. Medium-impact releases move markets less often.

Why does the market move when a figure beats or misses the estimate?

Prices already reflect what traders expect, so the reaction comes from the surprise: the difference between the actual figure and the consensus estimate. A bigger surprise usually means a bigger move, but the direction also depends on revisions and on what else is in the report.
