Economic impact tool

Pick an economic release and how it came in versus expectations to see the usual direction of gold, oil, the dollar, currencies and US indices — with the reason behind each move.

The usual direction, not a guarantee. This tool shows the reaction economic logic usually implies — not measured results and not a recommendation. The actual reaction depends on the size of the surprise, revisions to earlier figures, what the market had priced in, and other releases at the same time. For measured gold moves after US releases, see Economic news and gold and the Gold News Reaction Map. And avoid trading in the thirty minutes before and after a major release.
