Economic Calendar with Volatility

There are several news releases from the US and Europe, and a few news releases from Asia, this week. The US and Europe also have several high volatility news releases, so the US and European markets should experience some high volatility and significant price movement throughout the week. Remember that non financial news releases can also affect the markets, so any significant non financial news from the US, Europe, or Asia, could also cause high volatility and unexpected price movement.
