Economic Calendar (term)

An Economic Calendar is a tool used by investors and traders to track market-moving events, such as economic indicators, monetary policy decisions, and political events. These calendars list the dates and times of key economic releases (like GDP reports, employment data, consumer price index, etc.) and events that have the potential to impact the financial markets. By providing a schedule of when these events occur, an economic calendar helps market participants to make informed trading decisions by anticipating market movements and planning their strategies accordingly.
