The Gross Domestic Product is a comprehensive measure of an overall production and consumption of goods and services. GDP serves as one of the primary measures of overall economic well-being. While GDP announcements generally conform to expectations, unanticipated changes in this metric can move markets.
Robust GDP growth signals a heightened level of economic activity and often a higher demand for the domestic currency. At the same time, economic expansion raises concerns about inflationary pressures which may lead monetary authorities to increase interest rates. Thus better than expected GDP figures are generally bullish for the Euro, while negative readings are generally bearish.
Technically, Gross Domestic Product is calculated in the following way:
GDP = C + I + G + (EX - IM)
where
C = private consumption, I = private investment, G = government expenditure, EX = exports of goods and services, IM = imports of goods and services.
French GDP figures, officially called Quarterly National Accounts, are released quarterly. The headline figures are annualized percentage changes in real and nominal GDP.

The Current Account index measures the difference in value between exported and imported goods, services and interest payments during the reported month. The goods portion is the same as the monthly Trade Balance figure. Because foreigners must buy the domestic currency to pay for the nation's exports the data can have a sizable affect on the GBP.
A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the GBP, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the GBP.

hideCalculator of forex volatility
What is volatility on Forex?
Volatility is a statistical measure to gauge fluctuations on Forex. This term reflects a size of changes in a security’s value for a certain time interval. Besides, it is an important financial barometer, which determines an amount of risk for a particular deal. For instance, currency pairs with a low volatility are less risky as their values do not fluctuate dramatically. On the contrary, currency pairs with a high volatility require a well-grounded trading strategy.
Volatility calculator
The average volatility calculator is created to assess a price volatility of a particular currency pair for a certain period. A trader can estimate volatility of major, exotic, and cross currency pairs. A calculation is based on an intraday change in pips and percent according to a certain time frame from 1 to 52 weeks. The volatility calculator helps traders evaluate the degree of their investment risks.
Why do traders need a time frame?
Traders should be aware of an average volatility for every currency pair. The calculator enables traders to measure a standard volatility for different time frames as well as deviations from an average level. Thus, traders can recognize a favorable period for trading. Importantly, too “old” data can be unimportant to make a forecast.
How to calculate volatility?
The average true range (ATR) indicator is used to measure market volatility. Please follow the formula below:
Formula: Variation = Average (Higher — Lower)
Interpretation: Variation equals an average value of a difference between the highest and lowest prices of a currency pair over a particular period.
