🧭 How to read an economic calendar (quick guide)
The number that matters is the difference. If the "actual" beats the "forecast," it's usually bullish for that currency/market; if it falls short, bearish. The size of the surprise rules.
High-impact events (NFP jobs, CPI/inflation, Fed/ECB decisions) can move indices and currencies in seconds. Low-impact ones rarely move price.
Nonfarm payrolls (NFP), CPI and PPI (inflation), the Federal Reserve rate, GDP, retail sales, manufacturing and services PMI, and central-bank press conferences.
Before a high-impact event the market often goes quiet (low volatility) and then explodes. Many professionals avoid opening positions right before it.
