US Treasury fiscal-pulse signals (high-frequency fiscal flows)
High-frequency US federal fiscal signals from the Treasury Bureau of the Fiscal Service: daily debt velocity (debt-to-the-penny since 1993), the trailing-12-month deficit from Monthly Treasury Statements (nets out the fiscal-year sawtooth), the debt-held-by-public share, and the average interest rate on all interest-bearing debt with its 1-year repricing change. 30-period change volatility, 3-sigma shock flags, drift forecasts and a 12-period baseline. The daily/monthly companion to the quarterly FRED fiscal set. Public-domain US federal data.
