  • Bond Market Signals (derived)

    US bond market signals (yield volatility, momentum, anomalies, curve-inversion tracker)

    Daily bond-market signals derived from FRED's US Treasury and credit-spread series: 30-day annualized yield volatility, 3-month momentum, 3-sigma anomaly flags, naive-drift 1-month forecasts, a per-day cross-series volatility rank, and a 10Y-2Y curve-inversion tracker (flag + consecutive-days streak). Covers 2Y/5Y/10Y/30Y Treasury yields, the 10Y-2Y spread, the 10Y real yield, 10Y breakeven inflation and the US high-yield option-adjusted spread. All rows are normalized to country_code USA so they join cleanly with US macro data. Raw series: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED).

  • National Activity Signals (derived)

    US national activity signals (CFNAI business-cycle gauges, recession flags)

All rows are normalized to country_code USA so they join cleanly with US macro data. Raw series: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED); underlying data: Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

  • Business & Consumer Confidence Signals (derived)

    Global business & consumer confidence signals (sentiment momentum, pessimism streaks, business-consumer gap)

    Monthly economic-sentiment signals derived from the OECD's standardised business and consumer confidence indicators (amplitude adjusted, long-term average = 100; 56 countries and aggregates): 30-month annualized change volatility, 3-month momentum, 3-sigma anomaly flags vs a trailing 12-month baseline, naive-drift 1-month forecasts, a per-month cross-series volatility rank, the business-minus-consumer confidence gap (the demand-mismatch gauge), consecutive-months-below-100 pessimism streaks and 24-month sentiment z-scores. All rows carry canonical country_code so they join cleanly with other macro datasets. Derived keyless from the local raw oecd_cli catalog snapshots; underlying data: OECD (commercial re-use requires prior permission).

  • Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas

    Dallas Fed Weekly Economic Index macro pulse (weekly)

    Weekly US macro pulse from the Dallas Fed's Weekly Economic Index (keyless official workbook, 2008 to present): the WEI — the common component of ten daily/weekly consumer, labor and production series, scaled to four-quarter GDP growth — with trailing 4- and 13-week moving averages, week-over-week / 4-week / 13-week momentum, a trailing-52-week z-score, documented growth-regime labels (contraction / below-trend / trend / above-trend on the GDP-growth scale), contraction, above-trend and rapid-heating/cooling flags, and a contraction-episode streak counter. An online shop joins orders to week_ending for demand-regime features, a subscription business joins churn/dunning cohorts, and a sales team joins pipeline timing. Caveats: the WEI is a model-based nowcast, not observed GDP — weekly prints are noisy, so the 13-week moving average is the signal the Dallas Fed itself headlines; history is revised by the publisher. Dallas Fed research data: commercial reuse allowed with attribution to Lewis, Mertens & Stock / Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.

  • US Business-Cycle & Core-Inflation Intelligence (FRED, keyless)

    US NBER recession indicator, monthly

    Monthly US business-cycle reference panel, 1854-12 onward: the NBER-based recession indicator (FRED USREC), a 0/1 dummy marking the period from the month following each NBER business-cycle peak through the trough month. Carries recession_start and recession_end flags, a per-episode episode_id, months_into_recession and months_since_last_recession for regime-duration features. Upstream: National Bureau of Economic Research business-cycle reference dates, redistributed keyless via FRED fredgraph.csv (restores the reference series purged from the API-key FRED connector on 2026-09-29). Method caveats: the NBER declares peaks and troughs with a long lag, so recent months can be revised from 0 to 1; the opening 1854-12 episode starts in-recession with no observed start. One row per month x USA; the series is binary by construction and any non-0/1 value fails loudly. Who joins this: all three personas join on year_month + country_code to condition demand, churn and pipeline models on the official recession regime.

  • US GDP & Output-Gap Signals (derived)

    US GDP and output-gap signals (growth, slack, investment/consumption shares)

    Quarterly US national-accounts signals derived from FRED: real GDP growth (QoQ annualized and YoY), the CBO output gap (actual vs potential GDP) with its 10-year z-score, investment and consumption shares of GDP, the GDP-deflator inflation gauge, plus 30-quarter annualized change volatility, 1-quarter momentum, 3-sigma anomaly flags vs a trailing 12-quarter baseline, naive-drift 1-quarter forecasts and a per-quarter cross-series volatility rank. All rows are normalized to country_code USA so they join cleanly with US macro data. Raw series: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED); underlying data: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis and the Congressional Budget Office.

  • IMF Global Real-GDP-Growth Signals (derived)

    IMF global real-GDP-growth signals (growth cycle)

The growth-cycle lens on the world economy — the ML-enriched companion to the raw imf real-gdp-growth series. Country codes validated via the shared normalization layer. Raw indicator: International Monetary Fund DataMapper.
