There are certainly many important macroeconomic events and it is never easy to
pick some events over others. Sometimes, multiple important events are released
at the same time and Forex Datasource relied on its experience and analisys to
identify the few that were the most relevant. For additional details into the
selection process, please review our Methodology page.
All of these events scored a four or greater in our scale of 10 for the G-7
category. This means that consistently over time, these 30 macroeconomic events
had a significant level of impact on all seven major currency pairs. Thus,
their impact was not isolated to just one or two currency pairs.
