What news events move currencies the most in the case the numbers are over or under the consensus? I’ve got unemployment, GDP, non-farm payroll and interest rate decisions on my list but am curious as to what other scheduled numbers releases have an effect.
Please put in your two cents!
Thanks,

I use the calendars but I’m curious as to which, in experience and practice, lead to the biggest moves.
Unexpected news is the variable which moves the
market the most, ie the fed are rumoured to be cutting the
interest rate by 25bps, then they cut by 75bps.
But also statements from the major players, benanke, king, trichet
& fukui etc. can move the markets in a big way. It is usually not
what they say but what they are inferring. ie hawkish, dovish.
