Economic Calendar With Volatility

Sunday November 16, 2008

This week's economic calendar includes several news releases from each region (US, Europe, and Asia). There are seven high volatility news releases from the US, five high volatility news releases from Asia, but only three high volatility news releases from Europe. Regardless of the distribution of the news releases, the recent market conditions will probably continue this week, so markets from all three regions will probably continue experiencing high volatility and significant price movement.

The US, European, and Asian news releases for this week are as follows (all times are Greenwich Mean Time, which is 1 hour behind Central European Time, and 5 hours ahead of US Eastern Time) :
