| Column | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Time | Scheduled publication time in GMT (UTC+00:00). Central bank decisions without a fixed minute are listed at their usual slot. |
| Currency | The currency whose interest-rate expectations the release feeds. The flag shows the publishing country. |
| Impact | The publisher's rating of how far the release typically moves the related pair in the first thirty minutes. |
| Event | The release name as the calendar publishes it. |
| Previous | The figure published for the prior period, after any revision. |
| Forecast |
|---|
| The consensus expectation going into the release. This, not the previous reading, is what price is positioned for. |
| Actual | The released figure, blank until publication. Green means above forecast, red below; the bracketed number is the size of the surprise. |

High-impact rows carry a subtle tint in the table above so they stand out at a glance; the impact glyph carries the same meaning for readers who can’t distinguish the tint.
A calendar is not a signal service. Its job is to tell you when the market is about to reprice, so you can decide in advance whether you want to be in the market at that moment. Most losses around data are not caused by getting the direction wrong — they are caused by holding a normal-sized position through a moment when spreads widen, slippage becomes certain and stops stop behaving like stops.
Price already reflects the consensus forecast before the release. What moves the market is the gap between the forecast and the actual figure. A payrolls print of 180,000 is bullish for the dollar if the market expected 120,000 and bearish if it expected 240,000. Always read the forecast column first and the actual column second.
Market makers widen or withdraw quotes in the seconds around a high-impact release. During that window a stop-loss is a market order that will be filled at whatever price exists, not at your level. If you must hold through data, size the position so that a fill twenty or thirty pips beyond your stop is still survivable.
In any given month a handful of releases carry most of the volatility: the policy decisions, the inflation prints and the labour reports of the two currencies in your pair. Everything else mostly matters when it changes the expected path of those three. Filter the calendar to high impact and your traded currencies, and you will usually be left with fewer than ten events a week.
The initial spike is dominated by algorithms reacting to the headline. The revisions, the sub-components and the tone of any accompanying press conference are digested over the following fifteen to sixty minutes, and that second move is more often the one that holds. Many discretionary traders deliberately wait for the first five-minute candle to close before acting.
The same inflation surprise means very different things depending on where the central bank stands. Check the current policy rates before assuming a hot CPI print is bullish for a currency whose central bank has already finished hiking.
A release into a thin book moves further than the same release into a deep one. UK inflation prints before London properly opens and New Zealand data lands when almost nobody is quoting. Our market hours guide shows which sessions are open at each hour of the day.
Reference pages explaining what each recurring release measures, who publishes it and why it moves markets. These are evergreen explainers, not a record of any single release.
High-impact releases routinely move the related currency by more than half of its average daily range within minutes. Medium-impact releases shift pricing at the margin and usually matter most when they confirm or contradict a trend. Low-impact releases are recorded for completeness and rarely move a liquid major on their own.
Every release time on this page is quoted in GMT (UTC+00:00). Convert to your own timezone before setting alerts, and remember that daylight-saving changes shift local publication times twice a year even though the underlying schedule does not move.
The release has not happened yet, so only the previous reading and the consensus forecast exist. We leave the cell empty rather than showing a zero, and it fills in after publication, colour-coded against the forecast.
No. The colour simply shows whether the released figure came in above or below consensus. Whether that is bullish or bearish for the currency depends on the indicator — a higher unemployment rate is a miss to the upside of the number but a negative for the currency.
The schedule and the figures are ingested from the Forex Factory economic calendar and served through our own data pipeline, which records when each update was received. We publish what the feed publishes: if a figure has not been released, the cell stays empty, and if our pipeline falls behind, the page says so at the top instead of showing a schedule we cannot vouch for.
