Major Announcements

I appreciate that announcements are made every day which have a "fundamental" effect on the markets for a short while.
I didn't happen to have any positions open today when the US gave their unemployment figures for June, but the market reaction was "significant".

What is a good source for finding out the dates and times of the major announcements?
Either to ensure I'm not playing at that time or to lay a straddle slightly in advance.

Regards

Mark

This is as good as any.
You can either open it up for the entire week by clicking on the top task bar, or browse each day as it refreshes.

Perfect, just the sort of thing I had in mind. Thank you.
