How to read the calendar

The economic calendar lists scheduled releases of macroeconomic data — inflation, jobs, central bank decisions, GDP, retail sales, and more. Each release has a consensus forecast. Markets move when the actual print differs from that forecast (a surprise), sometimes for minutes, sometimes for the rest of the week.

Impact ratings

High — major market movers (NFP, CPI, FOMC, ECB rate decision, GDP). Expect heightened volatility for ~30 minutes around the release. Position accordingly.
Medium — meaningful but secondary (PMI, retail sales, building permits). Worth knowing about; less likely to move broad markets.
Low — niche or historical revisions. Usually background noise unless they confirm a thesis.

Why traders watch this

Avoid being caught wrong-way. Knowing a big release is coming lets you size down or stay flat through it.
Volatility timing. If you trade the news, the calendar is your trade plan. Positioning pre-release, fading the surprise, or waiting for the dust to settle are all valid strategies — but only if you know the schedule.
Macro context for swing trades. A quiet week vs an FOMC week have different volatility regimes. Worth knowing before you commit to a multi-day position.
