Why use the iFOREX economic calendar?

Markets don’t move only because “something happened”. They move because expectations change. The economic calendar helps you stay aligned with what the market expects before a release, and what it reacts to after. Whether you trade EUR/USD, gold, oil, or major indices, knowing the schedule of key economic events can help you avoid trading blind.

The benefits of the iFOREX economic calendar

Better timing. Identify when volatility is likely to increase and plan around it.

Smarter preparation. Combine calendar awareness with charts, signals, and your own risk limits.

Fewer surprises. Avoid entering trades right before major releases if you prefer steadier conditions.

Stronger trade discipline. A calendar-driven routine supports more consistent decision-making over time.

What is an economic calendar?

An economic calendar is a schedule of upcoming economic events and data releases (like inflation, jobs, GDP, and rate decisions) that can influence financial markets.

Why do economic events affect forex and CFDs?

Economic releases can shift expectations about growth, inflation, and interest rates—factors that often drive currency moves and ripple into indices and commodities.

Is the iFOREX economic calendar only for forex?

No. While it’s especially useful for forex, major economic events can also move gold, oil, indices, and even crypto-related sentiment.

How should beginners use the economic calendar?

Start by tracking major, widely-followed releases (rate decisions, CPI, NFP). Use smaller position sizes, and consider avoiding trades right before high-impact announcements.

Can I trade directly from the calendar?

The calendar helps you plan and time decisions. You can then use your platform tools (charts, orders, risk controls) to execute trades based on your strategy.

What’s the difference between the economic calendar and market analysis?

The economic calendar tells you what’s coming and when. Market analysis helps interpret what those events might mean for price direction and sentiment.
