Is there any news Statistics?

I was wondering if threr is any statistics avalable on news and market movement, I had seen something similar but cant find it.

I would like to see something like this:

USA : Gross Domestic Product : Market tends to move 50 pips in first 20 mints and 180 in 24 hrs after the news.

Also if there is any analyisis available on the corelation between news and market moves., such the picture:

Jack Crooks (should get his name changed for this business) of Black Swan Capital puts out a free newsletter and frequently has charts with currency pairs, gold, oil, dollar index, etc. overlayed and offers his commentary. I ahve been getting it for a long time and like it. Just 3-4 page pdf daily so it is not too much to digest.

Hi huskins, if there is any such analysis out there I would treat it with a pinch of salt. I wouldn't expect a certain fx reaction of x pips on the data releases. One thing you could look at is how the price moves when the data is away from the consensus by a certain amount. The outcome relative to the consensus is far more important that the headline data itself. For example, with the non-farm payrolls data, a surprise deviation away from the consenus of 100k is often associated with close to a 100pip move in cable (from recall).

I think it is of use to know which data are most important, but again, this can change overtime. A few years ago the TIC data was widely ignored, for example, but now it demands a little more attention. Likewise, with ECB policy on the move I'd keep an eye on the forward looking indicators like the ZEW and IFO out of the euro area.

ps - dude, ignore that graph by elliotwave...imo it is nonsense and has no value.

norbercker, I like the BlackSwan note as well, especially for the little quotes he provides!

That made me LOL

Hi Huskins,

I think this is what you're looking for. It's a bit old, but the ranges are still about the same.

Hope it helps.

I would also like to know what huskins asked but also I would like to know simply how to read a calendar...

there are so many news events on the calendar, how do I know which are the important ones that have the ability to move the market substantially?

currently I would like to try and avoid such days, so if anyone could give me some pointers it would help greatly. thanks.

Thanks guys for ur inputs:

Avoid news with a red "volatility expected"


My understandfing is "news" does not move the market, its only the news which is not consistant with the markets expectations move the market.


I actually would like to make a news mover calculater. Onw would key in:

a) the market direction over the last few days
b) Market direction 8 hrs prior to news.
c) news expections and outcomes 1 week prior. and thir impact on the price.
d) the expectation of the currnt news
e) the actual outcome
f) Rivisions prevoius outcomes if any.

any idea whre i can get the above data from ?

If i could get the above data and maybe more input from youll i could have my software development team make something.

ah, thanks... I see now... the calendar is actually on another page... it just looks like it is on the home page. I was wondering what all those symbols meant. Now I know.
