Reaction = end-of-day price of the labelled pair on the release day vs the previous trading day, in percent. Events sharing a release day share that day's move. US events are shown via EUR/USD, the most liquid dollar pair. Historical measurement only, not a recommendation.

The upcoming calendar lives in Pro

This page reviews what already happened. Pro shows what is next: the full schedule of upcoming events across all impact levels, currency filters and search, live countdowns per event, source-linked event detail and grouped PMI clusters, alongside the rest of the IntelliTrade dashboard.

Why review past events?

Not every "high impact" label moves the market equally. A CPI print that lands on expectations can pass quietly, while a surprise rate decision can move a pair a full percent in a day. Reviewing the measured reaction next to each release builds a realistic sense of which events matter for the pairs you follow, and how large a typical reaction actually is.

The figures here are daily close-to-close moves: they capture the whole release day, including everything else that happened in it. They are a review tool for context and expectation-setting, not a measurement of the event in isolation and not a prediction of the next release.

Economic calendar questions

What does this economic calendar recap show?

It lists the high-impact economic events of the last two weeks: interest rate decisions, CPI inflation prints, employment reports such as US non-farm payrolls, GDP releases and scheduled central bank speeches. Next to each past event you see how far the event currency's major USD pair moved on the day of the release, so you can review which events actually moved the market.

How is the market reaction measured?

The reaction figure is the percent change of the pair's end-of-day price on the release day compared with the previous trading day's end-of-day price. It is a daily close-to-close figure: it captures the whole release day, so when several events land on the same day they share the same daily move. It is a historical measurement, not a prediction or a trade recommendation.

Which pair is used for each event?

Each event is measured on the event currency's most traded USD pair: EUR/USD for euro area events, GBP/USD for the UK, USD/JPY for Japan, and so on. US events are shown via EUR/USD, the most liquid dollar pair. The pair is always labelled next to the figure.

Where is the upcoming calendar?

The forward-looking calendar is part of IntelliTrade Pro: the full schedule of upcoming events across all impact levels, with currency filters, search, live countdowns per event, source-linked event detail and grouped PMI release clusters. This free page covers what already happened; Pro covers what is next.

Which timezone does this page use?

Event times are converted to your device's local timezone as soon as the page loads, with the timezone name shown next to each time. Before that conversion runs, times are shown in UTC and labelled as such. Days are grouped on the UTC calendar day, and reaction figures use end-of-day rates on that same UTC day.
