Macro indicators
Alerts when a new reading of a key economic indicator is published.
Market Rodeo follows 18 economic indicators from FRED, the economic data service of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. When a new reading is published, you get an alert.
When you get an alert
Macro alerts can arrive up to about 6 hours after the data is released. If you trade the release itself, use a faster source for the headline number.
What the alert shows
- Title: for example "CPI released".
- Reference period: the period the reading covers, for example "May 2026".
- Indicator, Value and Change from the previous reading.
- Released: the date the reading was published.
- A link to the indicator's page on FRED.
The reference period and the release date are different. A monthly figure for May is usually released in June.
Change is shown in the way that fits each indicator: a percentage for prices, GDP, retail sales, the money supply and oil; percentage points for interest rates and the unemployment rate; and a plain difference for payrolls, jobless claims, consumer sentiment and the VIX (for example "+172K").
