Economic Calendar With Volatility

This week's economic calendar includes several news releases from the US and Europe, and a few news releases from Asia. The US has most of the high volatility news releases this week, followed by Europe with a few high volatility news releases, and Asia with only one high volatility news release. The US and European markets would normally experience some decent price movement throughout the week, but due to the recently enacted short trade prohibitions the price movement will be somewhat different than expected. The Asian markets should experience their usual volatility and price movement throughout the week.

The US, European, and Asian news releases for this week are as follows (all times are Greenwich Mean Time, which is 2 hours behind Central European Time, and 4 hours ahead of US Eastern Time) :
