It’s not that unusual for this info to be found on forex sites. Forex is the most prominent form of trading in the world and most intimately tied to economic releases (unlike companies with their earnings etc., currencies don’t have anything but the economy to go on). More “news” trading is done in forex than in stocks I would guess. You should check out this PDF about the relative importance of various releases on the US dollar. I’m sure it’s applicable to other markets too. Also check out the calendar at Forex Factory with its relative volatility indicator to give you an idea of the “importance” of the release.
