What Is an Economic Calendar
A 1-minute lesson from the MarketPro academy, one of 16 in economic calendar and news.
An economic calendar is a scheduled listing of upcoming data releases, central bank decisions, and other events that have the potential to move financial markets, organized by date, time, and country. Most calendars display each event alongside the previous reading, the consensus forecast among economists, and — once released — the actual figure.

Most calendars display each event alongside the previous reading, the consensus forecast among economists, and — once released — the actual figure. This lets traders quickly see how a release compared with what was expected, which often matters more to price reaction than the raw number itself.
