Good to know
- There is no gold price in this pack, and no raw data.
- About 10 years of history in every file. Days without a value from the source are left out; nothing is filled in.
- Each series has its own latest date, because each official source publishes on its own schedule. Official numbers can be revised later.
- CPI and unemployment have no October 2025 value: the federal government shutdown cancelled those releases.
- Sources: Federal Reserve Board, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bureau of Economic Analysis and Employment and Training Administration data distributed by FRED (Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis), and the CFTC. This product is not endorsed by any of them.
- Rebuilt every day at 15:00 UTC. Terms of use: legal notice.
