Economic Calendar: What the Schedule Covers and What It Leaves Out

The CleaRank Economic Calendar is a free schedule of economic releases and central-bank meetings. It tells you when an event is due, which currency it concerns and how much it usually matters. It does not include forecast or actual figures. This page explains what the schedule covers, how times and importance are shown, and where its limits are.

What the schedule covers

  • Ten currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, CHF, NZD, CNY and BTC.
  • More than 274 recurring events, such as jobs reports, inflation prints, growth figures and rate decisions.
  • Central-bank meetings for the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, the Bank of Canada and the Reserve Bank of Australia, on their published schedules.
  • Dates through December 31, 2026.

What it does not include

The calendar is a schedule, not a data feed. A row tells you that an event, for example US CPI, is due at a given time. It does not tell you what the figure is expected to be or what it came in at: forecast and actual figures are not included.

Unscheduled events are not on it. An emergency rate decision between meetings, or a surprise statement, appears nowhere on a schedule. Treat the calendar as the list of known dates, not the list of everything that can move a market.

Times and time zones

Pick a time zone from the selector, which offers 22 zones and can detect yours. Every time is shown in the zone you pick, with daylight saving changes applied. That is why a US release that sits at 12:30 UTC in winter shows at 13:30 UTC from March to November.

Importance

Each event carries an importance rating of 1 to 3, shown as bars, and the highest-impact releases carry a red marker. The rating describes how much a release of that kind usually moves the currency it concerns. It is not a prediction of how much this particular release will move it.

Date windows, filters and the session clock

  • Date windows: today, tomorrow, the next 7, 14 or 30 days, or a custom range up to December 31, 2026.
  • Filters: currency, importance, category and trading session.
  • Session clock: shows which of the Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York sessions is open right now.

The Trading Simulator’s News tab has its own calendar panel next to the headlines; see Market News and Sentiment.
