Economic Calendar With Volatility

Monday October 27, 2008

This week's economic calendar includes several news releases from all three regions (the US, Europe, and Asia). The US has most of the high volatility news releases, while Europe only has three high volatility new releases, and Asia only has four high volatility news releases. Regardless of the distribution of the new releases, markets from all three regions (US, Europe, and Asia) will probably continue experiencing high volatility and significant price movement due to the current market conditions.

The US, European, and Asian news releases for this week are as follows (all times are Greenwich Mean Time, which is now only 1 hour behind Central European Time, but still 4 hours ahead of US Eastern Time) :

US
