Economic calendar

An economic calendar lists scheduled macro events such as inflation prints, jobs reports, central-bank rate decisions, and policymaker speeches, usually flagged by expected market impact and showing the actual, forecast, and previous figures.

For a bullion trader, the calendar is a way to anticipate volatility. High-impact releases like U.S. CPI or a Fed decision can overwhelm otherwise clean technical levels, so knowing what is scheduled, and when, helps frame event risk before it hits gold and silver.

The calendar shows what is scheduled, not how markets will react. Surprises versus forecast often matter more than the headline number, and event timing is best paired with fair value, pivots, and positioning rather than traded on the release alone.
