Impact ratings

What the bars mean

Impact describes how much the release typically moves price, not how important the data is economically.

High impact

Rate decisions, CPI and payrolls. Spreads widen because the underlying book thins, and slippage on a market order is normal for the first thirty seconds.

Medium impact

PMIs, secondary inflation prints and central bank speeches. They move the market when they contradict what the last high-impact release implied.

Low impact

Sentiment surveys and revisions. Rarely a standalone mover — they matter as confirmation of a trend already in the price.
