The core retail sales announcement measures the difference in the total sales value with in the retail industry (excluding cars). It released on a monthly basis (usually two weeks after the beginning of the month) in the USA and affects mostly the USD currency (major pairs). Even though the car industry holds almost 20% of the US retail sales, their volatility prevents them from appearing in the Core Retail Sales announcement. Once announced the USD currency will get benefits if the result passes the forecast, otherwise the outcome will be negative for the currency.

A financial announcement is a public issued report that is provided by a government institute, a major bank or a financial body. A financial announcement can also be held by a big public company or cooperative.  The financial announcement provides numbers and conclusions regarding a certain event that was analysed for that specific announcement. Financial announcements can be weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly. Each financial announcement has its own markets which it influences. Each announcement has a different impact on the market impact scale. For traders the financial announcements are an important fundamental tool to determent direction of market movement, combined with the impact of the announcement on that market. Before the announcement is released we will see a forecast made by major institute’s analysts for that specific event, which will become a point of designation/origin for the actual announcement and the market behaviour afterwards.
