How much a release usually moves markets. Rate decisions and the inflation, jobs, growth and ISM figures are high; spending, wages and producer prices medium; housing, sentiment and trade low.
Not every release matters equally. Markets move most on the figures central banks react to: inflation, the labour market and growth, plus the decisions themselves. FinVolio tags each release with a fixed, stated judgement of the kind professional calendars apply.
Why it matters
Knowing which releases matter helps you avoid being surprised by a large move on a busy day, and avoid over-reading a quiet one.
On FinVolio
High-importance releases carry a High tag in the calendar, and the calendar can be filtered to show only those.
