Economic calendar

   How do you read an economic calendar?

   Compare Actual, Forecast and Previous to put each release in context. “—” means unavailable data, while R marks a revised previous value.

   What does the impact of an economic event mean?

   Impact, high, medium or low, indicates the importance assigned to the event. It does not predict market direction.

   What do NFP, JOLTS, CPI, PCE and GDP mean?

   NFP covers US payroll jobs, JOLTS job vacancies, CPI and PCE prices, and GDP economic activity. Opening the “i” next to an event shows an explanation of the indicator and its previous releases.

   How often is the economic calendar updated?

   The calendar updates automatically in your browser, normally every 30 seconds and more often around numeric releases. If the connection drops, the data from the last check stays visible and the next attempt starts on its own.

   Which timezone does the economic calendar use?

   You can choose from 56 timezones with automatic daylight saving; exact release times follow the selected timezone. Events without a precise time remain shown as all day or to be confirmed.

   How do you filter economic calendar events?

   You can choose today, tomorrow, 7 days or a specific date, search for an event and filter by one or more currencies and impact levels. Filters, timezone and selections are remembered in this browser.
