Macro Conditions
FreshGDPNow, financial conditions, activity, labor, and inflation — a confirmation layer, not a live driver
- GDPNow is a growth nowcast, not realized GDP; it confirms whether the growth backdrop supports current yields.
- NFCI/ANFCI are weekly financial-conditions context; confidence rises only when they align with real yields, credit, equities, or the dollar.
- Whether CFNAI, unemployment, payrolls, and CPI/PCE confirm growth/labor/inflation without mixing release dates into a same-day conclusion.
- These series have mixed frequencies: GDPNow, weekly financial conditions, monthly labor, and inflation should not be read as same-day market pricing.
- Financial-conditions indexes overlap with equities, credit, the dollar, and other components; do not double-count them if cross-assets are added later.
Sourced through FRED for Atlanta Fed GDPNow, Chicago Fed NFCI/CFNAI, and BLS/BEA macro series. This module is confirmation, not a live driver; mixed frequencies cap same-day confidence.
