The US economic calendar is the most important one since the country is the world’s largest economy. The most important indicators mainly impact the price of the US Dollar (USD), but they also affect other markets and currencies.
The organizations that publish the most meaningful indicators – the ones that carry the
greatest impact in the markets – are the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) , the US Bureau of Economic Analysis
(BEA), the US Census Bureau and the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Of special interest are the Federal
Reserve (Fed) interest-rate decisions.
Canada is one of the world's strongest economies, mainly due to its natural resources, technology, and industrial sectors. It is also a part of international trade agreements, such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) or the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
Among the events with the greatest impact are announcements from the Bank of Canada (BoC), which is currently chaired by Tiff Macklem. Some of the most relevant indicators of Canada's Economic Calendar include:
The United Kingdom is the sixth-largest global economy, and its monetary policy is implemented by the Bank of England (BoE), whose Governor is Andrew Bailey. Its capital, London, is the second-largest financial center in the world, only behind New York.
The performance of the UK economy can have direct impact on a wide number of markets as well as on different currencies beyond the Pound Sterling (GBP). Some of the most relevant indicators of the United Kingdom Economic Calendar include:
Australia's economy is one of the strongest in the world. The Land Down Under is rich in commodities and mainly sends its resources to China and other Asian countries.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is responsible for implementing monetary policy, and its decisions are a key driver for the Australian Dollar (AUD). The current Governor of the RBA is Michele Bullock. Some of the most relevant indicators of the Australian Economic Calendar include:

If you do not care about macroeconomics when trading, it’s still a useful tool
Big news events can – and often do – cause big swings with a single movement going several percent in one direction.
To know the events and releases better and learn different aspects that can influence or improve your trading, we collected some of the best educational articles, reports and videos about news trading.
…READ IT?
All data are displayed in chronological order, divided by day. Released data are in grey, while all upcoming data remains in white. The time left before the next release is indicated so you quickly grasp when this is coming. When new data is released, the calendar page is automatically refreshed. By clicking on the small bell on the right side of each row, one can receive a browser notification 30 minutes before the event and another one just after the data is out.
A flag icon indicates the country or region of the data release, and next to it, its related currency. This helps to quickly scan what currencies might be affected by a particular data release.
Depicted as yellow, orange, or red bars, the impact is a basic indicator of the potential move a data release might trigger on currencies. If a bar is red and long, it means that market observers expect it to have a high probability of moving the Forex market. If this bar is yellow and short, the probability of a big impact in the market is viewed as low. When the bar is orange, we’re just in between.
For all economic calendar indicators, there is:
Previous number: the data in its last release (frequency of data release is variable: it can be last month, last quarter, or simply a preliminary estimate).
Actual number: When the data comes out, it is immediately displayed at the right of the volatility indicator.
For most indicators, there is:
Consensus number: What economists and market analysts expect before the release of the data.
Deviation ratio: The indicator is based on an FXStreet exclusive calculation that measures the surprise caused by an event when the Actual data differs from the Consensus. Its number usually oscillates in an open scale between -7 and +7.
… FILTER DATA?
One may want to focus on some type of data and ignore the rest: less noise means more efficiency. If that’s the case, click on the “Filter” button at the top-right corner of the Economic Calendar. Filters are available according to countries, dates range, event categories, or impact levels. Once these are selected, hit the “Apply filter” button. These settings can be saved by ticking the option “Save settings in My filter.”.
… GET MORE INFO ABOUT THE DATA
Apart from the data itself, FXStreet provides additional information. To get a full picture, click on the row of the event to open a dropdown box with more related content:
A score of 0.0-3.9 is dovish, 4.0-6.0 is neutral and 6.1-10 is hawkish.
Financial markets are highly sensitive to expected changes in interest rates by the Federal Reserve (Fed). When decision-makers at the Fed signal the path of interest is lower, their speech is dovish. Indications of higher interest rates are hawkish.
Why is there no Sentiment/Score in this speech?
Sometimes, central bankers are scheduled to make public appearances but they do not talk about monetary policy, failing to make any impact on markets. When this happens, the result of the speech in our Economic Calendar will be N/A.
Who are the Fed speakers?
Markets are always adjusting to the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) future interest rate projections. There are 17 FOMC board members, but only 12 of them actually vote on the FOMC meetings, held eight times a year.
How does it work?
We have developed a custom AI model that analyzes all the relevant speeches by the FOMC members and rates them on a dove-hawk scale. This allows us to provide traders with real-time notifications on how each word of Fedspeak impacts the US Dollar.
