A personal tool I built to avoid jumping between five different government data portals when I want a quick US macro read.
What it tracks
Growth
- Real GDP (quarterly, seasonally adjusted annual rate)
- Industrial production index (monthly)
Labor
- Nonfarm payrolls (monthly change + trailing 12-month average)
- Unemployment rate (U-3 and U-6)
- Prime-age (25–54) employment-population ratio
Prices
- CPI (headline and core), PCE (headline and core)
- 5-year and 10-year breakeven inflation rates
Financial
- Fed funds effective rate vs. market-implied path (OIS strip)
- Real 10-year Treasury yield (TIPS)
- Credit spreads: IG (CDX) and HY (CDX)
Implementation
Build with pyfred, manage the data in the "raw data" folder, pull new data from FRED daily through Github Action and update the excel read
