Inside Trade | Economic Calendar


Ever heard of the term “economic calendar”? If in case you haven't, allow me to inflict the idea. Economic calendar refers to a list of scheduled economic events and the time which it is expected to happen. It is a calendar of various economic activities which specifies the nature of the event and it's scheduled release or commencement.

For the benefit of everyone, most macroeconomic indicators has it's own release schedule which allow traders to predict it's effect on the market. The GDP, CPI, PPI, Inflation rate, etc. are just some of the macroeconomic factors that are released on a regular basis.

However, it's not only the economic indicator that you may include in your calendar. Huge issues, like Fiscal cliff or Euro crisis events, may also be included on your calendar. Though theses events may not be expected at the start of the year, some of it still have a definite schedule and may play a significant role to your analysis. Poll results which has a scheduled released may also be mentioned in here.
