Explainers

Economic Events

27 scheduled releases that markets commonly watch, explained: what each measures, how it is compiled, and why it matters to prices.

Explainers first, dates second

GIO4X keeps no economic calendar of its own, so the explainers carry no release dates, forecasts or outcomes.

For dates, load TradingView’s calendar on this page, or use the publishers’ own calendars.

Release dates move, and a wrong date is worse than none. Each explainer links to its publisher’s own calendar.

The dated view

What is scheduled, from TradingView.

GIO4X does not publish its own economic calendar. The panel below is TradingView’s, loaded at your request: release times, previous figures, forecasts and outcomes as TradingView reports them.

Where the dates are

The calendar belongs to the publishers.

Release dates move, and a wrong date is worse than none. The calendar above is TradingView’s, not GIO4X’s; the authoritative schedule for each release is the one kept by the body that publishes it.

Around a scheduled release.

Trading conditions can change quickly around a major release: spreads may widen, prices may gap, and an order may be filled at a different price from the one requested. The explainers describe why a release is watched. They do not say what a market will do when it is published.
