Why it matters for market watchers

Notes for EA trading

Even when a speech carries no explicit policy message, official communications can sometimes coincide with short bursts of volatility. Spreads may widen around scheduled releases and speeches. Traders running EAs may want to review their settings and consider pausing automated trading during such periods.
