FAQ
What is an economic calendar?
An economic calendar is a schedule of upcoming economic events and data releases – such as inflation, employment, GDP, and interest-rate decisions – that may influence financial markets.
Why do economic events affect forex and CFDs?
Economic data can shift expectations around growth, inflation, and interest rates. These expectations often drive currency movements and can also affect indices, commodities, and broader market sentiment.
Is the iFOREX Europe economic calendar only for forex trading?
No. While it is especially useful for forex traders, major economic events can also influence gold, oil, indices, and other CFD markets.
How should I use the economic calendar?
You should start by tracking widely followed events such as central bank rate decisions, CPI, and employment reports. Using smaller position sizes and avoiding trades just before high-impact releases can help manage risk.
Can I trade directly from the economic calendar?
The calendar is designed to support planning and timing. Trades are executed through the trading platform using charts, orders, and risk-management tools.
What’s the difference between the economic calendar and market analysis?
The economic calendar shows what events are coming and when. Market analysis helps interpret how those events may influence prices and sentiment.
