Improvements in linking instruments to events in Acuity Calendars

When Economic Event data is released, it affects various instruments to varying extent. Previously we usually attached affected instruments to the events using the instrument country, for example, if there is US Economic Data released, it would affect US indices, currencies with US Dollar etc.

We have received feedback from our users that they are missing certain instruments when viewing the data for certain High and Medium impact events. In particular, metals and energy commodities were missing from the list of affected instruments.

We’ve taken this feedback on board and reviewed how we identify affected instruments for each event. Metals, energy, and agricultural commodities are now attached to more events that affect their prices and that traders are closely monitoring when viewing the event data.
