Hi,

I realised that Forexfactory does not show any news concerningFrance and Italy in the News Calendar. May I understand why? I think economic news from these two countries had certain impact on the price movement.

Just a personal comment and opinion.

News concerning the euro zone has very little impact on price, that's why. The price movement most of the time does not even cover the spread.

I would not say the Euro Zone. Rather, Germany is the economic giant that dominates. Major Euro Zone news do affect the currency.
Also when the market has no direction, and looking for one, the news there can give a push.

we do report events for france and italy, but just a few of them. things like GDP, CPI are reported for the 3 major euro economies (germany, france, italy). recently we have been adding a few reports to this list and we plan to add a few more. for germany, which is europes largest economy, we report pretty much everything.

the reason we dont report everything from euroland is because these reports have such little impact on the market that it is hardly worth complicating the calendar for them. the combined releases for germany, france, and overall eurozone easily outnumber the reports for the UK and US, yet the combined impact is less than a single "red" UK event.

one thing you can be fairly certain about is that any event that has potential to move the market will be on the FF calendar. hope this answers your question!
Relax and be happy.

And I have been missing these news all along?

Honestly, even German Economic News hardly move the Euro much. And the news that affect Euro dramatically would come not from Europe but from CHINA: China announces to diversify forex reserve and boom Euro shoots 300 pips vs USD..

Wow this is the first time I heard of that! If that is the case then FF should also include news from China then. Maybe??
