About the Economic Calendar
The Economic Calendar is a tool that helps traders to monitor and analyze market-moving events, and predict further price movements. It highlights upcoming national and international news around the world in chronological order by date.
These major events can have a high impact on the financial markets and are usually announced or released in reports. Examples of such events include monetary policy decisions, economic indicators, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) announcements, Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) numbers, interest rate decisions, and more.
We notify traders before upcoming events, news, and data releases to keep them informed of the time and instruments that may be affected. You can find these notifications under the "Mailbox" tab on your trading platform. Please keep in mind that the impact of economic news and indicators can differ for each instrument.
Why you should use the Economic Calendar

The events may highly impact the volatility of forex currency pairs, stocks and other markets. Thus, traders often use the calendar to plan their trades and stay informed on chart patterns and indicators that may be affected by the events.
Since the events could significantly drive price movements during the time of publication, it’s a good practice to refer to the calendar before the trading day.
