Transcript

This is an educational audio preview. Before reading a number on an economic calendar, check the indicator name, the publishing institution, and the country. Check the time zone so you do not confuse release time with your local time. Some calendars show a previous reading and forecast, then add the actual value after publication. Earlier figures can be revised, and markets may react differently from a first impression of the result. It helps to consult the original source and understand the indicator definition. This is a reading exercise, not live analysis or trading advice.
