Economic calendar in Asia Monday, November 4, 2024 – ps. check your clocks!

Not a lot on the data agenda to move major FX today, some Australian data:

• This snapshot from the ForexLive economic data calendar, access it here.
• The times in the left-most column are GMT.
• The numbers in the right-most column are the ‘prior’ (previous month/quarter as the case may be) result. The number in the column next to that, where there is a number, is the consensus median expected.

I left in those lines at the top of the calendar indicating changes to clocks in the US and Canada. If this is a surprise to you, you need to read more ForexLive – I posted a heads up on Friday:

• Heads up for US and Canada clocks changing this weekend – goodbye daylight saving

If you are offshore from the US or Canada you may need to adjust your trading times.

This day of clock change happens twice a year (well, more, given timezone changes in UK/EU/Australia/NZ … and others) which prompts much bewilderment and complaint on Fintwit and other financial market communication media: “Why do the clocks have to change, I’m so messed up!” sort of thing. Yes, this from the people that trade financial markets where nothing ever changes, right? Sheesh. Anyway … tick tock.
