Each tile shows the latest published value, its period, the last five years as a line, and the change in percentage points (pt) on the observation before (on the day, month or quarter; for an inflation rate, on the rate of the month named) and on the same period a year earlier (on the year). A dash means the comparison period was not published. CPI inflation, year over year; Core CPI inflation, year over year: the figure is for Sep 2026 because the index of Oct 2025 is not on file (the agency did not publish that month), so Oct 2026 has no year-earlier value to compare with.
Treasury yield curve
The yield curve is the set of Treasury par yields by maturity on one day, here 12 Nov 2026 against a year earlier. A par yield is the yearly yield a Treasury security of that maturity would pay if it sold at face value. An inverted curve means the short yield is above the long yield.
Consumer prices, change over a year
Inflation over a year is the percent change of the Consumer Price Index from the same month a year earlier. The core index leaves out food and energy, whose prices swing the most. Grey bands mark past recessions as dated by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
Data dates. Retrieved 13 Nov 2026; each figure carries the period of its own latest observation, the last of them 12 Nov 2026. The figures are stored on this site and refreshed on a schedule (daily and weekly series each business day, the others each week), so a release of the last day or two may not be here yet; the agencies revise many series after first publication.

Economic Indicators
The main series of the U.S. economy on one page, for reading: Treasury yields and the yield curve, inflation, the labour market, output and income, money and public debt, each with its latest value, its change and a chart. Every figure is a U.S. government or Federal Reserve statistic stored on this site and refreshed on a schedule (the daily figures each business day, the rest each week); the page states what each series measures and how each derived figure is calculated, and makes no forecast. A calculator for education and analysis, not investment advice.
