    Question Fundamental Calendar Indicators

    I see that these economic calendar indicators are "the most" important.

    - Consumer Price Index
    - Consumer Confidence
    - Retail Sales
    - Pending Home Sales
    - Busines Confidence
    - Buing Approvals
    - GDP
    - Unemployment Rate
    - Unemployment Change
    - Employment Change
    - PMI Manufacturing
    - ISM Manufacturing
    - Trade Balance
    - Industrial Production
    - Trade Balance
    - PPI Input

    How much do they affect the Forex Price movement?

    Historically:
    It could change the tendency from up trending to downtrend inner a day?
    Or even in less time like 10 minutes...

    Do you know any computational database (in txt format or another...) to get historic data to be read by a software?

    All of these events surely affect currency rates (some of them more, some - less), but the most common reaction of pairs is either immediate swing higher/lower or gradual appreciation/depreciation during a day or couple.

    I don't think that CPI release alone can lead to the long-term trend reversal, but if it happens, it usually depends on a bunch of factors: such as monetary response to CPI data, comments of the officials etc.

    As for DB - unfortunately, I haven't seen anything like that.
