Traders use the Financial calendar as a tool for fundamental analysis. In this section, you will know how to read the world economic calendar and how to use it in the expanded mode.
How to use the News calendar to improve efficiency of your trading operations:
The Financial calendar allows traders to predict the way exchange rates may alter in the nearest future even before they start trading. It’s the News calendar that helps traders to provide insight into the overall market situation and see all potential opportunities it has to offer.
Financial market is influenced by a lot of factors and the key one is important economic news. Some traders in particular strive to trade during the periods when news and financial statistics are published, which are very essential for some specific industry development. In case the data from the Economic calendar is read and understood correctly, traders may get additional profit. However, other speculative traders are quite opposite and they prefer to refrain from trading when the news is published due to the higher market volatility and inability to predict changes of prices on the market during such periods.
Regardless of the approach, traders should follow all breaking news and up-to-date macroeconomic numbers if they want to succeed on financial markets. This is exactly how the world economic calendar is going to help them because it contains the latest information about all significant financial events.
