…READ IT?
All data are displayed in chronological order, divided by day. Released data are marked with a tick () under the “time left” column. A light grey horizontal line shows you where we stand at the moment and below that line go all upcoming data. Time left before next release is indicated so you quickly grasp when this is coming. When a new data is released, the calendar page is automatically refreshed so you do not miss it. If you want, you can enable a sound notification for all releases.
A flag icon indicates the country of the data release, and next to it, its currency. So you can quickly scan and see what currencies might be affected today or in some specific days.
Depicted as yellow/orange/red bars, the impact is a basic indicator of the potential move a data release might trigger on currencies. Shall a bar be red and long, market observers expect this data to have great probability to move the Forex market. Shall this bar be yellow and short, the probability is viewed as low. In orange, we’re just in between.
For all economic calendar indicators, you will find the Previous number: that is the data in its last release (frequency of data release is variable: it can be last month, last trimester…). For most indicators, we add a Consensus number: that is a general agreement of experts on the outcome of the number. When the Actual data is released, it’s immediately displayed at the right of the volatility indicator. Better or worse than expected? If we had a consensus published, it comes either in green (it means the data is better than expected) or in red (worse than expected). The Deviation ratio is an FXStreet exclusive calculation which measures the surprise caused by an event when the Actual data differs from the Consensus. Its number usually oscillates in an open scale between -7 and +7.

… GET MORE INFO ABOUT THE DATA
We have more to give you that just the data you see at first sight. If you click on the name of the event, that will deploy a space with more information:
A score of 0.0-3.5 is dovish, 3.6-6.4 is neutral and 6.5-10 is hawkish.
Financial markets are highly sensitive to expected changes in interest rates by the Federal Reserve(Fed). When decision-makers at the Fed signal the path of interest is lower, their speech is dovish. Indications of higher interest rates are hawkish.
Why is there no Sentiment/Score in this speech?
Sometimes, central bankers are scheduled to make public appearances but they do not talk about monetary policy, failing to make any impact on markets. When this happens, the result of the speech in our Economic Calendar will be N/A.
Who are the Fed speakers?
Markets are always adjusting to Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) future interest rate projections. There are 17 FOMC board members, but only 12 of them actually vote on the FOMC meetings, held eight times a year.
How it works?
We have developed a custom AI model which analyzes all the relevant speeches by the FOMC members and rates them on a dove-hawk scale. This allows us to provide traders with real-time notifications on how each word of Fed-speak impacts the US Dollar.
