Using the Macro Calendar

How to navigate the MacroCalendar to stay informed about U.S. macroeconomic events

Updated over a month ago

The MacroCalendar is a comprehensive tool that provides a complete view of U.S. market events across past, present, and future timeframes. Events are color-coded based on priority, allowing you to quickly identify and prioritize important economic events to help make informed investment decisions.

The MacroCalendar is located in the MacroDashboard section of the Allio app and helps investors track, monitor, and prepare for significant economic releases that can impact market movements.

Calendar View

The calendar displays a five-week view, with the current week highlighted by default and the current date is distinctly highlighted within the week. By selecting any week on the calendar, it will be highlighted with a list of events shown for the week.


☝️ Note: The MacroCalendar displays time in a 12-hour format (such as 08:00 AM) and is adjusted to your local timezone


Priority Filtering

Events on the calendar are distinguished by colored dots that indicate their market impact:

  • Red: High-priority events

    • Significant market-moving potential

    • Example: Fed Chair Powell Testimony

  • Orange: Medium-priority events

    • May or may not influence market sentiment

    • Example: Fed Hammack Speech

  • Green: Low-priority events

    • Provide additional market context

    • Example: Import Prices YoY

Located at the bottom of the calendar, there will be three toggles labeled High, Med, and Low that allow you to customize which events to display. To start, all priority levels are selected and this can be easily adjusted based on preference.

Event List

Events are grouped by date and you can expand or collapse sections to see events for only the dates you’re interested in.

Each event displays

  • an event name and description

  • economic indicators

    • Actual: The released value after the event occurs

    • Previous: The last period’s reported value

    • Forecast: The market’s expected value

    • a link to Trading Economics for a detailed summary
