Forex Calendar
Date	Time	Currency	Data Released	Actual	Forecast	Previous	Info.
Mon. 12/11	1:01am	GBP	Rightmove House Price Index m/m	-0.3%		1.5%	[read]
Definition Measures the monthly change in the average asking price of residential properties. Rightmove, the UK's leading property website, publishes this indicator in the same month the data is collected, making it a leading indicator of inflation in the housing sector.
	6:00am	JPY	Consumer Confidence	48.7	48.8	48.2	[read]
Definition Measures the mood of consumers in regard to economic conditions. The reading is derived from a monthly survey that asks respondents to evaluate the prospects for the economy in the future. Higher readings point to higher consumer optimism. When consumers are optimistic they tend to purchase more goods and services, which stimulates the economy.
	10:30am	GBP	PPI Input m/m	0.1%	0.3%	-0.1%	[read]
Definition The Producer Price Index (PPI) Input measures the rate of inflation (i.e., the rate of price changes) experienced by manufacturers when purchasing goods and services. A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation's currency. When manufactures pay more for goods and services, they are likely to pass the higher costs to the consumer, so PPI is thought to be a leading indicator of consumer inflation. PPI is highly regarded, and at extremes will have a market impact equal to that of its CPI counterpart.
	10:30am	GBP	PPI Output m/m	0.0%	0.0%	-0.2%	[read]
Definition The Producer Price Index (PPI) Output measures the rate of inflation (i.e., the rate of price changes) experienced by manufacturers when selling goods and services. Manufacturers are unlikely to pass Output inflation to the consumer, so it has much less market impact than its PPI Input counterpart.
	10:30am	GBP	Trade Balance	-6.3B	-6.2B	-6.6B	[read]
Definition Measures the difference in value between imported and exported goods and services. A positive Trade Balance indicates that more goods and services were exported than imported over a given period. A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation's currency. When higher levels of exports are sold to the world, demand for the nation's currency is elevated as foreigners convert their native currency to purchase these exports. The Trade Balance also has a sizable impact on GDP because high demand for exports creates increased employment and production as domestic factories work to fill this demand.
	2:30pm	CAD	New Housing Price Index m/m		0.5%	0.5%	[read]
Definition The New Housing Price Index (NHPI) measures monthly changes in the selling prices of new residential houses. The NHPI is used as the inflation measure of new home construction.
	2:30pm	CAD	Labor Productivity q/q		0.3%	-0.4%	[read]
Definition Labor Productivity measures efficiency in producing goods and services. It's developed by comparing quarter over quarter growth in efficiency. A falling trend indicates future inflationary pressures as the labor cost of producing goods rises.
	4:00pm	USD	Wholesale Inventories m/m		0.7%	0.9%	[read]
Definition Measures the value of goods held by wholesalers. A falling trend has a positive effect on the nation's currency because wholesalers order more goods from manufacturers when they have depleted inventories.
Tue. 12/12	12:50am	JPY	CGPI m/m		-0.1%	-0.3%	[read]
Definition The Corporate Goods Price Index (CGPI) measures the rate of inflation (i.e., the rate of price changes) experienced by corporations when purchasing goods. A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation's currency because when businesses pay more for goods, they are likely to pass the higher costs to the consumer.
	12:50am	JPY	Import Price Index m/m			-1.3%	[read]
Definition Measures the monthly rate of inflation for imported goods.
	1:30am	AUD	NAB Business Confidence			6.0	[read]

	10:30am	GBP	CPI m/m		0.1%	0.2%	[read]
Definition The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the rate of inflation (i.e., the rate of price changes) experienced by consumers when purchasing goods and services. A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation's currency. The primary objective of the central bank is to achieve price stability; when inflation rises above an annualized rate of approximately 2%, they will respond by raising interest rates to bring prices down. Higher interest rates attract foreign investment, thus increasing demand for the nation's currency. CPI is one of the most closely watched indicators and will usually have a high impact upon release.
	10:30am	GBP	Core CPI y/y		1.5%	1.4%	[read]
Definition Derivative of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) that excludes the volatile Food, Energy, Alcohol and Tobacco items. CPI with the exclusion of these volatile components is thought to be a better indicator of the underlying inflation trend and the central bank uses it as their primary inflation gauge, aiming to keep it at an annualized rate of 2%.
	10:30am	GBP	RPI m/m		0.1%	0.1%	[read]
Definition The Retail Price Index (RPI) measures the rate of inflation experienced by consumers when purchasing goods and services. RPI differs from CPI in that it only measures goods and services bought for the purpose of consumption by the vast majority of households.
	11:00am	EUR	German ZEW Economic Sentiment		-25.0	-28.5	[read]
Definition Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) Economic Sentiment measures institutional investor sentiment. The monthly indicator reflects the difference between the share of investors that are optimistic and the share of analysts that are pessimistic. For example, if 30% of participants expect the economic situation to improve within the next six months, 30% expect no change and 40% expect the economic situation to deteriorate, the ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment would take a value of -10. Thus, a positive number means that the share of optimists outweighs the share of pessimists.

	8:15pm	USD	Interest Rate Statement		5.25%	5.25%	[read]
Definition The central bank's governing body, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), releases an Interest Rate Statement eight times per year. The statement contains the latest decision regarding changes to the nation's short term interest rate ("fed funds rate"), a brief report of the economic conditions that effected their decision, and most importantly, clues on what the next rate decision will be. A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation's currency. Short term interest rates are the paramount factor in currency valuation; traders look at most other indicators merely to predict how interest rates may change in the future. What makes interest rates so important is that high rates attract foreigners looking for the best "risk-free" return on their money, which significantly increases demand for the nation's currency. The primary objective of the central bank is to achieve price stability; when inflation rises above an annualized rate of approximately 2%, they will respond by raising interest rates in an attempt to bring prices down. This is what makes inflation-predicting indicators so important. Traders know that rising prices will lead the central bank to raise interest rates, which ultimately leads to a more valuable currency.
