Economic Calendar

The Economic Calendar lists dates and times of important economic events and announcements that may affect specific assets or entire markets.

It is a versatile research tool. You can see what is happening in markets and sectors where you have exposure, learn how indicators may ripple through prices, and compare actual prints with forecasts and history to spot surprises. That context helps you build more event-aware strategies as global conditions shift.

Use the period tabs (yesterday, today, tomorrow, this week) to focus the window you need. Country and time-zone filters help align events with your strategy. You can also narrow by importance or category—for example GDP releases or tax announcements—so the feed matches what you care about.

The calendar draws on hundreds of thousands of indicators from more than 190 countries. You can focus on selected countries or follow G20 updates depending on your filters.

Many indicators matter for individual strategies, but some tend to move broad markets. Widely watched releases include: • GDP — total value of goods and services produced; expansion often supports risk assets. • Interest rates — central bank policy; higher rates can weigh on equities while making bonds relatively more attractive. • Consumer Price Index (CPI) — a primary inflation gauge; rising CPI often signals higher inflation risk. • Consumer Confidence Index — higher readings can support spending and growth.
