Track every high-impact forex news event — US CPI, PPI, Nonfarm Payrolls, FOMC rate decisions, GDP — with live countdowns and actual vs forecast vs previous the moment data lands. The interactive calendar above refreshes automatically every minute.
Economic releases are the biggest scheduled movers in forex. A CPI surprise can swing EUR/USD 50–150 pips in minutes. Checking the forex calendar today before each session — and cutting risk into red-folder events — is one of the simplest edges a trader can have.
High-impact events (US CPI, NFP, FOMC) almost always cause sharp volatility across USD pairs and gold. Medium-impact events (PPI, retail sales, jobless claims, ISM PMI) move markets when they surprise. Low-impact releases rarely matter for forex — this calendar shows high and medium only.
A forex economic calendar lists upcoming economic data releases — CPI, PPI, Nonfarm Payrolls, FOMC decisions — with their scheduled times, forecasts and previous values. Traders use it to know when high-impact forex news will move currency pairs.
US CPI (inflation), Nonfarm Payrolls, FOMC rate decisions, GDP and unemployment rate are the highest-impact events. Medium-impact events include PPI, retail sales, PCE inflation and ISM PMI surveys.
Check the calendar before each session, reduce position sizes into red-folder events like CPI and NFP because spreads widen, compare the actual release against the forecast (bigger surprises move markets more), and consider waiting 1–2 minutes after the release before entering.
Forecast is the market consensus expectation, previous is the last release’s value, and actual is the just-published number. When actual beats forecast (e.g. higher CPI), the related currency usually strengthens; a miss usually weakens it.
