Economic Calendar

Markets react to the news. Our live economic calendar shows the events that move currencies — so you always know what's coming and can trade with confidence.

Why the economic calendar matters

Big scheduled releases — interest-rate decisions, inflation figures, jobs data — can move a currency in seconds. The economic calendar tells you exactly when these events happen and how important they are, so you can plan your trades, manage your risk, and avoid being caught off guard. For beginners, it's one of the simplest ways to start understanding why prices move. New to the terms? Check our glossary.

How to use it

Three quick habits turn the calendar into a real edge — even if you're brand new.

  • 1

    Check the importance

    High-impact events (usually marked red) move markets the most. Focus on those first — things like interest-rate decisions, inflation (CPI) and jobs reports.

  • 2

    Watch your pairs

    Filter by the currencies you trade. A US data release matters for any pair with the dollar in it, like EUR/USD or GBP/USD.

  • 3

    Plan around releases

    Prices can swing fast around big news. Consider widening your stops, trading smaller, or simply standing aside until things settle.
