The economic calendar we have provides a short description of each event and its “actual,” “forecast,” and “prior” values. Events are organized chronologically and you can choose to see only those of high importance.
The “forecast” value can be expressed as a percentage or as a currency value and it shows how the event will impact the market. “Actual” value is the value of the event at the time of reading and the “prior” value is the value it was before the “actual” one.
Additionally, in the economic calendar, you can filter events by country.
