Low impact

The event has historically produced a relatively limited market response. Actual conditions can differ.

Medium impact

The release may lead to a measurable change in pricing or liquidity, particularly when the result differs from expectations.

High impact

The event may coincide with rapid price movements, wider spreads, thinner liquidity and slippage.

Please note

Impact labels are estimates. They do not predict the direction or size of a market move. Orders can be filled at a different price from the one requested when markets move quickly or liquidity is limited.
