Market Intelligence
Real, publicly sourced data on markets and the economy, explained in plain English — what's happening, why it matters, and how it might affect decisions. No predictions stated as fact, no buy/sell signals.
What’s happening
Each indicator here shows real, current data from a named public source — never a number we made up or an AI estimate.
Why it matters
Every chart comes with a plain-English explanation of why it’s watched at all — written once, so it stays true no matter where the number sits today.
How it might affect decisions
Context, not advice. These pages describe what the data shows — they don’t tell you what to do with it.
Treasury Yield Curve
See the current U.S. Treasury yield curve, whether it’s inverted, and how it compares to an earlier date you choose.
Financial Stress Index
The Office of Financial Research’s daily snapshot of stress across global financial markets, and whether today’s reading sits above or below its own historical baseline.
Inflation & Purchasing Power
How consumer prices have changed over time, and what that has meant for the real purchasing power of a dollar — based on the BLS Consumer Price Index.
ETF Cost Watch
A hand-curated, source-cited comparison of well-known, broad-market ETFs by expense ratio, benchmark, and structure — not a live feed, and not a buy recommendation.
Historical Market Explorer
Pick a time window and see how interest rates, financial stress, and inflation moved across it — built entirely from this site’s own rate, stress, and inflation data. Covers rates/stress/ inflation, not equity returns — see the page for why.
Economic Calendar
Upcoming official U.S. economic data releases — BLS, BEA, and Treasury — sourced directly from each agency’s own published schedule.
Economic Growth (GDP)
What GDP growth measures, with verified, dated figures from the Bureau of Economic Analysis’s own public press releases — not a live feed.
Employment
The U.S. unemployment rate, total nonfarm payroll employment, and average hourly earnings — from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Stock & ETF Lookup
Look up any stock or ETF and see its real price history — TradingView’s own official chart widget, delayed data, not a feed this site operates.
Market Overview
Indices, broad-market ETFs, and Treasury rates at a glance — TradingView’s own official widget.
Sector Heatmap
A visual map of S&P 500 sectors by size and today’s performance — TradingView’s own official widget.
Market Concentration Radar
What market-cap weighting means, why it concentrates in an index’s largest members over time, and why that overlaps across funds — an evergreen explainer with a few verified, dated historical reference points. Not a live chart of today’s holdings.
More indicators are coming soon. This section is being built one indicator at a time so each one can be shown in full, with real data and a verified pattern, before the next is added.
