Time
The scheduled release time in the timezone selected inside the calendar. Confirm the timezone before planning around an event.
Use the economic calendar to track scheduled inflation, employment, growth and central-bank releases that can affect forex, stocks, commodities, bonds and cryptocurrencies. Filter the calendar by date, country, currency and importance, then compare actual results with market forecasts and previous readings.
An economic calendar is a schedule of official data releases, policy decisions and other events that can influence financial markets. Traders use it to see when reports such as CPI, PCE inflation, GDP, non-farm payrolls, PMI surveys and interest-rate decisions are due. The calendar does not predict market direction. It helps readers identify event risk and understand whether a published figure was stronger or weaker than expected.
Data and timezone: Calendar events, forecasts, previous readings and actual results are supplied by Investing.com. Times follow the timezone selected inside the widget, which may default to GMT. Release schedules, forecasts and previous values can be revised. AAFX.IO does not generate the calendar data and recommends confirming major releases with the issuing agency.

The economy and currency most directly associated with the release. Global assets can still react to major US, euro-area or Chinese data.
A relative importance rating based on expected market attention. High impact means greater event risk, not a guaranteed large price move.
The reported figure after publication. Markets usually compare it with the forecast and consider revisions, policy expectations and positioning.
The consensus estimate available before release. A surprise occurs when the actual result differs meaningfully from this expectation.
The prior reported value. It provides trend context, but it may later be revised by the issuing statistics agency.
Inflation data influences expectations for interest rates and can affect currencies, government-bond yields, gold and equity valuations.
GDP estimates show how quickly an economy is expanding or contracting. Revisions can matter as much as the first release.
Payrolls, unemployment, wages and jobless claims provide evidence about labour demand, household income and potential inflation pressure.
Rate decisions, meeting statements and press conferences can reset expectations for borrowing costs, liquidity and currency differentials.
Manufacturing and services PMIs offer relatively timely evidence about business activity, new orders, employment and price pressures.
Retail sales and confidence indicators help assess household demand, a major component of growth in many economies.
The calendar shows when an event is scheduled. AAFX.IO’s news and analysis explain why the release matters, how expectations are changing and which markets may be sensitive. Use the links below to place the event within broader market conditions.
Interest-rate decisions, inflation reports, employment data, GDP releases and major central-bank communication often attract the most attention. Their effect depends on expectations, market positioning and the broader policy outlook.
Forecasts are estimates compiled before publication. New survey responses, seasonal adjustments and unexpected economic changes can cause the final release to differ from consensus.
No. Traders interpret data through interest-rate expectations and current positioning. A strong result may have little effect if it was already expected, while revisions or details inside the report can alter the reaction.
The embedded calendar is supplied by Investing.com and updates according to the provider’s feed. AAFX.IO does not promise a specific latency and recommends checking the official release source for time-sensitive decisions.
Yes. Statistical agencies frequently revise earlier estimates as more information becomes available. Always check the latest previous value rather than assuming the first reported number is final.
