Economic Calendar – Track Market-Moving Events

The NEOM Funded Economic Calendar is an essential tool for Participants who want to stay ahead of market-moving events. Track scheduled economic data releases, central bank interest rate decisions, employment reports, inflation data, GDP figures, and other high-impact announcements that directly influence forex and metals markets.

Why an Economic Calendar Matters

Financial markets react sharply to economic data releases and monetary policy decisions. A stronger-than-expected US jobs report can send the dollar surging, while a surprise rate cut from the European Central Bank can trigger major moves across EUR pairs. For prop Participants managing simulated funded evaluation accounts with strict drawdown limits, knowing when these events occur is critical for risk management and opportunity identification.

Key Events to Watch

Central Bank Decisions: Federal Reserve (FOMC), European Central Bank (ECB), Bank of England (BoE), Bank of Japan (BoJ), and Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) rate decisions and policy statements.
Employment Data: US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), unemployment rates, jobless claims, and wage growth figures across major economies.
Inflation Reports: Consumer Price Index (CPI), Producer Price Index (PPI), and core inflation measures that guide central bank policy.
GDP and Growth: Gross Domestic Product releases, PMI surveys, retail sales, and industrial production data.
Trade and Sentiment: Trade balance figures, consumer confidence surveys, and business sentiment indicators.

How to Use the Calendar

Filter events by impact level (high, medium, low), by country, or by date range. High-impact events are marked with red indicators and typically generate the largest market movements. Plan your trading schedule around these events – whether you choose to trade the volatility or step aside to protect your simulated funded evaluation account from unexpected drawdowns. NEOM Funded allows news trading on all challenge types, giving you the freedom to capitalize on economic releases. Explore our trading challenges and use the economic calendar as part of your daily pre-market preparation.
