Frequently asked questions

Why do markets move on economic releases?

Prices reflect expectations. When data differs from forecasts, participants adjust positions, which can cause rapid moves.

Are spreads wider around news?

Spreads can widen and prices can gap around high-impact releases.

Does the calendar tell me which way prices will move?

No. The calendar shows scheduled events; it does not predict market direction.
