How to use the economic calendar (and why it matters) | IG Decoded [Eg7N5KC4C4B]
The economic calendar isn't just a list of dates. It's a roadmap for when markets are likely to move. In this episode of IG Decoded, we break down the five types of events and what each one means for your open positions. What's covered: - Macroeconomic events: central bank decisions, employment data, inflation reports - Earnings: company results that can gap stocks 10% or more - Dividends: how ex-dividend dates affect stock prices, and why your position stays square (long positions get credited, short positions get debited) - IPOs: new listings and what they mean for the market - Stock splits and reverse splits: automatically adjusted, but sentiment can still shift prices Knowing when a market is likely to move is just as important as knowing why.
