Definition
An economic calendar is a useful tool used by traders to view upcoming important events and economic data reports, identify opportunities and prepare a trading plan. The majority of the listed events may be categorised into two groups: predictions of upcoming financial or economic events, or reports of past financial or economic events.
- The dates of key releases or events that might have a substantial impact on the movement of specific asset prices or the market in general are listed on the economic calendar.
- The economic calendar is used by traders to plan trades, adjust their portfolios and monitor indicators and chart patterns that might be influenced or produced by these events.
- It is a source of information and trading opportunities for traders who frequently enter or exit positions based on the announcement of an event or the heavy trading activity that usually comes before a planned announcement.
- Monetary policy decisions made by each nation’s central bank with the aim of controlling the supply of money and interest rates, are another key aspect of the economic calendar.
- Traders use the economic calendar to plan and structure their transactions around the release of economic data or events that are anticipated to have a significant influence on the markets.
- Weekly jobless claims, reports of new home starts, scheduled interest rate changes or interest rate signalling, regular reports from the Federal Reserve or other central banks, economic sentiment surveys from particular markets, and many other events are examples of events that might appear on an economic calendar.
