Economic events on the chart: central banks, CPI, jobs and the market's reaction
The terminal now marks scheduled economic releases right on the chart with a country flag above the time axis — rate decisions from eight central banks, CPI, payrolls, GDP, PCE, retail sales and more. Hover a flag for the actual and previous figure and how bitcoin, EUR/USD and gold moved in the hour after, get a reminder before high-impact releases, and keep a calendar panel beside the chart.
Know what's scheduled before it moves the chart
Turn on Economic events in the chart settings and a country flag appears above the time axis at every scheduled release that moves markets:
- rate decisions from the Fed, the ECB and the central banks of Japan, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Switzerland;
- US CPI, non-farm payrolls, GDP, PCE and retail sales, and the euro-area flash CPI;
- second-tier releases — US PPI, JOLTS, weekly jobless claims and the euro-area GDP flash — which High-impact only hides.
Show all countries, only those of the instrument you're on, or a selection.
What happened last time
Hover a flag — or tap it on a phone — for the news: the actual figure, the previous one, and how bitcoin, EUR/USD and gold moved in the hour after the release. On past events a dashed line marks the exact moment on the chart.
Reminders and a calendar beside the chart
- Remind before high-impact events sends a note to the bell 15, 30 or 60 minutes ahead, and to Telegram if you link it. It follows your country filter and needs you to be signed in.
- The Economic calendar panel in the right column lists upcoming and recent releases; green means better for the currency than the previous value, red worse.
- Everything works on phones too, with the switch, filter and countries in the mobile chart settings.
Economic events are free. Open the terminal, or see the full history of releases on the economic calendar page.
