Prepare events inside the terminal
The public calendar explains the method. In the terminal, you can connect releases to news, watched markets and the chart.
- Spot CPI, NFP, FOMC, PCE and Fed speech windows.
- Cross-check actual, forecast and previous with DXY, US yields and XAU/USD.
- Prepare the session before event risk catches you late.
Connect events to pairs
A US release can affect EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, USD/CAD or XAU/USD through the dollar and yields. An ECB decision targets the euro more directly, while a BoJ announcement often influences the yen.
Central banks and inflation
The Fed, ECB, BoE, BoJ, RBA and other central banks can shift rate expectations. CPI and PCE numbers are therefore often central to understanding currency moves.
Session and liquidity
The same event does not always produce the same reaction depending on time, liquidity and open pairs. The calendar must be read with the market session and watched assets.
