In addition to the economic calendar from Investing.com that @marcus mentioned, which is definitely one of the best, here’s a list of over 30 economic calendars that I made a while back:

How to know?
Well, it’s ultimately up to the discretion of each broker. Even the US presidential elections have frightened some brokers enough to temporarily raise margins.
You should ask your broker if they have specific criteria they follow.

I am really glad you like it @bltdavid. Thank you for your kind words. I also made a list of over 20 earnings calendars a while back at Earnings Calendars (Over 20, All Free-to-Use) . I know it is less valuable to futures traders than the list of economic calendars linked to above, but for those of you who trade equity index futures it could also be at least somewhat useful.
