In plain English.
This is a survey of confidence, expectations or sentiment. It measures respondents’ assessments rather than directly counting spending or production.
What it means. Why markets react.
What happened in previous releases.
This event has not taken place yet. The explanation describes what to watch, rather than a confirmed outcome.
This is a survey of confidence, expectations or sentiment. It measures respondents’ assessments rather than directly counting spending or production.
Confidence may influence future spending and investment, but intentions do not always become actual activity.
A surprise can change growth expectations. The market response is usually stronger when the survey adds information that was not already reflected in other releases.
The same currency move points in different directions depending on which side of the pair it sits.
If the British pound strengthens relative to the US dollar, this pair tends to rise; relative weakness tends to push it lower.
If the British pound strengthens relative to the euro, this pair tends to fall; relative weakness tends to push it higher.
If the British pound strengthens relative to the Japanese yen, this pair tends to rise; relative weakness tends to push it lower.
The effect on XAU/USD is usually indirect. Watch the US dollar, real US bond yields and safe-haven demand. Gold can rise in a weakening local currency without rising in US dollars.
Separate current conditions from future expectations and examine inflation expectations if reported. Check the survey scale; a higher reading is not necessarily a percentage increase in activity.
Actual price movement after past releases of this event. Choose a market and a time window.
Limited sample: 4 complete observations. The figures describe these recorded releases.
Average maximum distance from the release price ?The average of each release’s maximum rise and, separately, maximum fall. These excursions can both occur in one window and at different times. They are not a forecast, a net change or a tradable return.
Centre = release price ?The reference is the opening price of the broker candle aligned with the release. All distances are measured from that same price.
These are two separate averages across 4 releases. A release can move both up and down within 30 minutes; this does not show which happened first.
Each window starts at the opening price of the broker candle aligned with the release. Maximum movement is the greatest distance from that price, not the high-to-low range. A reversal after an initial spike does not erase the spike; the net change at the end is shown separately. Only complete candle windows without missing intervals are included.
Simultaneous releases ?Other announcements in the same release window can affect the same prices. The observed move cannot be attributed to this one headline alone. share the same price window. The move may reflect several announcements. The table shows the latest 4 complete observations; the summaries use all 4 observations in the selected sample.

| Date · UTC ?Dates and release times use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), so the same release can fall on a different local date. | Maximum move ?The greater of the maximum rise and maximum fall from the release price. Example: from 2,000 to a high of 2,010 and a low of 1,996, the maximum move is 10, not the high-to-low range of 14. | Maximum rise ?The highest recorded price within the window minus the release price, shown as a non-negative distance. | Maximum fall ?The release price minus the lowest recorded price within the window, shown as a non-negative distance. | Net end change ?The price at the end of the window minus the release price. Positive means it ended higher; negative means lower. It does not measure the largest move along the way. |
