News and countdown

The calendar of market-moving releases, with a live countdown in Italian time and our classification into track 1, track 2 and other.

Macro news cannot be predicted in direction, but it can in agitation: when an important release comes out, price moves, and it moves more when the number surprises. Here you find the coming days' events in Italian time, with a live countdown, classified the way we classify them.

How to read the tracks

Track 1

The five big US releases: nonfarm payrolls, CPI inflation, PCE inflation, ISM manufacturing and the Fed meeting. One hour before, the agent records its forecast and posts it in the channel; after the release we measure whether it was right.

Track 2

The other releases the agent follows: ISM services, retail sales, producer prices and the ECB, Bank of England and Bank of Japan meetings. Same method, separate report card.

Other

Calendar events we do not follow with the agent. We show them because they move markets all the same.

The agent's report card

Every forecast made before the release, and how it went. Few rows today, because we started recently: the report card grows on its own, and nothing gets deleted.
