High-impact forex news events. Know when the market will move before it moves. Never get caught on the wrong side of NFP, CPI, or FOMC.
NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls) — Monthly, first Friday. Biggest market mover for USD pairs. Expect 50-100 pip moves on EURUSD, GBPUSD, XAUUSD.
FOMC (Federal Reserve) — 8x per year. Rate decisions + statement + press conference. Sets USD direction for months.
CPI (Consumer Price Index) — Monthly. Inflation data drives rate expectations. Higher CPI = hawkish USD, lower CPI = dovish.
GDP — Quarterly. Broadest measure of economic health. Revision surprises move markets sharply.
PMI (Purchasing Managers Index) — Monthly. Leading indicator for manufacturing/services. Above 50 = expansion (bullish for currency).
