GDP, inflation, interest rates, trade and other key economic indicators
Gross Domestic Product
DataPorium tracks the economic indicators that help explain the economy — GDP, inflation, employment, and interest rates — with historical charts and the latest readings. See how the economy is trending and understand the macro forces behind business conditions, interest rates, and market trends, all in one clean interface.
Economic indicators are the vital signs of an economy. Growth measures like GDP show how fast output is expanding, inflation gauges how quickly prices are rising, employment data reveals the strength of the labor market, and interest rates set the cost of money. Together they shape central-bank decisions and influence business conditions, interest rates, and market trends. The same macro data is also available through the DataPorium economic data API.
To read indicators well, focus on the trend and the surprise. A single reading matters less than its direction over several periods, and markets react most when the actual number diverges from expectations. Inflation and employment are especially powerful because they steer interest-rate policy. Pairing live indicators with the economic calendar gives you both the latest values and a schedule of what is coming next.
For interest rates, see the Treasury yield curve and Fed rate decisions. To see which prices are rising fastest, open inflation by category, and for imports, exports and the trade balance by country, open US trade. Retail sales by store type and the online share are on the Retail tab, and factory shipments, orders and capacity use on the Manufacturing tab.
Follow key macro indicators such as GDP, inflation, employment, and interest rates, each with historical charts so you can see how the economy is trending over time.
Indicators like inflation and employment shape central-bank policy and drive markets. Tracking them helps you understand the forces behind economic trends, interest rates, stocks, and bonds.
Open the Interest Rates tab for the US Treasury yield curve, every Fed rate decision since 1994 and the date of the next Fed meeting, the Inflation tab for 25 price categories such as food, gasoline and rent, and the Trade tab for US exports, imports and the trade balance by country and product.
Indicators refresh as new readings are released, so you always see the latest values alongside their historical context.
US economic time series from official government releases: output, inflation and prices, jobs, interest rates and credit, housing, consumer activity, trade and recession probability.
As each official release is published, weekly to quarterly depending on the series.
Values are shown as published. Changes from a year earlier compare the same month or quarter of the year before; rates are the published rates.
Many series are revised after they are first published, and seasonally adjusted series can change when the adjustment is updated.
