Overview
The FXStreet allows investors to track the economic performance of a state, country or region, as well as make forecasts about upcoming performance. The FXStreet economic calendar not only lists daily events, but the volatility levels attached to them. A volatility level refers to the likelihood that a specific event will impact the markets. The API also delivers commentary and consensus estimates prior to the announcement.
