Understanding the Economic Calendar

The Economic Calendar tracks important economic events and indicators that can significantly impact financial markets. Here's what you need to know:

  • High Impact Events (Red): These events often cause significant market volatility. Examples include central bank decisions, employment reports, and inflation data.
  • Medium Impact Events (Orange): These events can cause moderate market movements. Examples include GDP releases and manufacturing data.
  • Low Impact Events (Green): These events typically have minimal impact on markets. Examples include minor economic surveys and lower-tier indicators.

Traders and investors use the economic calendar to anticipate market movements, adjust their positions, and manage risk around important economic releases.
