The market prices the consensus
Forecasts are already reflected in price by the time a release arrives. A number that matches expectations is often a non-event.

What is scheduled, and how much it matters.
Every data release and central bank event for the major currencies, with previous, consensus and actual figures as they print. Times are shown in your local time zone.
Calendar data is provided by TradingView. Impact ratings are the provider’s own. High-impact releases widen spreads and thin liquidity for a few minutes around the print.

Plan around it
Check the calendar before opening a position so a stop is not sitting a few pips from a number that will move the market.
