Economic Calendar
What is FXGT Economic Calendar?
FXGT’s Economic Calendar is a calendar that organizes the dates and times of important economic indicators and keynote speeches around the world that affect the forex market.
When is it needed?
There are a variety of economic indicators such as policy rates, indicators related to the economy, employment statistics, prices, and trade balance.
Depending on which country the indicator is for, the currency or commodity that moves the market will change.
For example, the major indicators related to the U.S. that affect the U.S. dollar (USD) are as follows.
- Jobs report, unemployment figures
- FOMC Statement
- Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
- Consumer Price Index (CPI)
- Retail sales
- Housing Starts, Existing Home Sales
- etc.
When such indicators deviate significantly from forecasts or expectations, the market will rise or fall sharply.
When trading, it is necessary to understand the contents of the relevant economic indicators and the timing of their release in advance, and close positions early if there is a risk.
On the other hand, if the news is favorable, you can aim to make a large profit by successfully opening positions.
How to use it
From the top page, select Economic Calendar, and you will see the following screen.
This is a list of major economic indicators and other events around the world, sorted by date and time.
The leftmost column shows the announcement time, and “Currency” indicates the currency that will be affected.
The Event indicates the content of the economic indicator.
Actual is the actual result (displayed after the announcement), Forecast is the prior forecast, and Previous is the value of the previous announcement.
You can change the display range by clicking on the date range in the upper left corner.
You can change the Current Time in the upper right corner to display the time according to the time zone of your country.
Click on each indicator to view the details.
The image below shows the US employment statistics (unemployment rate).
The U.S. employment statistics, which are released every first Friday, are one of the most important indicators as they have a significant impact on the U.S. dollar (USD), which is the key currency in the world.
The unemployment rate of 6.1% is expected to be slightly worse than last month’s actual rate of 6.0%, but if, for example, the unemployment rate were to improve more than expected due to the progress of the COVID-19 vaccination and a significant return to economic activity, the dollar could be bought and the dollar could appreciate at once. In this way, it is possible that other economic news will be released.
In this way, you can incorporate other economic news into your trading strategy by making forecasts.
