Economic Calendar With Volatility

This week's economic calendar includes many news releases from Europe, and several news releases from the US and Asia. The US has most of the high volatility news releases this week, but very closely followed by Europe and Asia with a few high volatility news releases. The US and European markets would normally experience some decent price movement throughout the week, but due to the continuing short trade prohibitions the price movement will not be normal (i.e. not according to market dynamics). 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) :
