Economic Calendar FAQ
A forex economic calendar lists scheduled economic data releases and central-bank events — such as interest-rate decisions, inflation (CPI), employment (NFP) and GDP — with the date, time, expected (forecast) value and the previous reading. Traders use it to anticipate volatility and avoid being caught off guard by news.
The highest-impact releases are central-bank rate decisions (FOMC, ECB, BoE), the US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), inflation reports (CPI/PPI), GDP and PMI surveys. These are flagged as high impact (red) on the calendar above because they routinely cause sharp moves in pairs like EUR/USD and in gold (XAU/USD).
Forecast is the market's consensus expectation for the release, and Previous is the prior period's actual figure. When the released number differs sharply from the forecast (a 'surprise'), volatility tends to spike — that gap is what traders watch most closely.
Event times are stored in UTC and automatically converted to your device's local time zone in your browser. If JavaScript is disabled, times are shown in UTC and labelled accordingly.
Many traders avoid opening new positions in the minutes around a high-impact release because spreads can widen and price can gap. With an XM account (from $5, partner code FXTRD) you can monitor these events, set alerts and manage risk with stop-losses. Trading the news is high risk — never risk more than you can afford to lose.
The calendar refreshes automatically several times a day from a public economic-events feed, covering the current week and the week ahead. The 'Last updated' timestamp under the table shows when the data was last refreshed.
