China News HKD in Forex Factory Calender?

The way I see things, This site is terrific! Tons of useful information and a lot to learn here.

One thing I believe is missing more and more as CHINA is comming out is the
need for Peoples Bank of China news on the Calender. Sure would be nice to
to know on a schedule even if "tennative" time was entered of PBOC
rate hike. Sure there is some news on China but I hadn't expected rate
hike today.

Seems China news effects Japan much in the way Canada News use to
effect USD / other country cross currencies in the past.

CHINA / HKD Calander Events Would be a great asset here.

I'll add my voice to adding China news. Today being a perfect example when the People's Bank of China announced the widening of the trading band and an increase in rates that sparked the huge Yen spike.

I'd maybe add the PBOC calendar first and any scheduled speech with officials from the PBOC.

Merlin, I'll do some research as well as to who, what and when.

Thanks for the support Mike and what you said "PBOC" yes that is more corectly what I meant.

I sent an email to PBoC to get an idea about announcements and dates but did not hear back from them.
I hope you find the info, as it has a strong impact on yen behavior as you mentioned.

should we vote for customising it personally? like changing time stamp,

Gwan, yes indeed but having PBOC on the calender time or not would help me, I remember knowing of the news talks but then when i get so involved in trading i just overlook some events. when checking the calender here on FF
and I love the way they List, Explain, Report and remind us all to pay attention to the news events! it's Terrific!

if we knew when PBOC was announcing rates we would put it on the FF calendar for sure. trouble is, nobody can find the schedule. i talked to a friend of mine who is china expert, he told me the PBOC does not have a schedule, they just act whenever they feel like it LOL. and my own research has not come up with any schedule either. if anyone has any info on this subject, please let us know! we had this same discussion here, but nobody was able to come up with anything, not even our Japanese correspondent Fumafuma, who is usually an expert on such subjects!

on a related note, we do plan on adding Chinese economic indicators in the near future, such as GDP. these have a lot less effect than PBOC announcements, but still worthy of inclusion.

Merlin you beat me to it. That is pretty much what I surmised with my research over the weekend. Oh well, China is pretty new to the whole, "what we say and what we do matters to the rest of the world's economies." I'm sure they'll be a little more reliable in the future.

here's a web site with chinese business news and shanghai composite, etc

The rate hike WAS a surprise move. It was not scheduled. UK traders had rumors of it coming.. perhaps, we should give more ear to what they have.

True enough it was kind of a surprise moved. I guess among all the major central banks, PBOC will be in the top of my list that need more time to study their cause and effect they have towards every corner of the markets. They being the top holders in foreign reserve have given many riddles to many people... Nothing much (the important data & news) is mentioned in the PBOC official site both in English and Chinese (the important links in the Chinese version don't seems to be working too...) from the last I visited...So I agree with what merlin and others have said...we simply couldn't find the schedule so far and I believe is still very much like a closed door event yah...

Ok FF would like to post PBOC news but has no source.
