An economic calendar is a list of upcoming market announcements that are expected to influence market and asset prices. Traders that trade on news strategies or fluctuations in market conditions use the calendar to know when events are happening that will affect prices and volumes.
One of the most important indicators for economic events is the expected volatility of the event. This refers to how much the announcement is expected to affect the market. The higher the volatility, the more important the event is considered to the market. Before a major announcement and obviously afterwards, trader behavior changes as a result. Experienced traders use the knowledge of upcoming events to take advantage of expected changes in trading volume and behavior.
