Economic events that move gold
The releases that swing XAU/USD — and when to stand aside.
Interest-rate decisions, inflation (CPI) and jobs data move gold the most. Around these releases spreads widen and moves are violent — many traders stand aside for the first minutes.
Common questions
Where do I see the calendar?
MT5 has a built-in economic calendar; many free sites list one too.
Should I trade the news?
