Methodology

Data pipeline

The server downloads CSV files from FRED using https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/fredgraph.csv?id=SERIES_ID. Blank values and . values are ignored. The dashboard keeps the latest 420 valid numeric observations for each series.

"20 obs." and "60 obs." mean valid observations, not calendar days. Treasury and dollar series are daily. CPI series are monthly.

Treasury price pressure

  • yield_change_bps = (yield_now - yield_lookback) * 100
  • avg20 = average(DGS10_20obs_bps, DGS30_20obs_bps)
  • fast5 = average(DGS10_5obs_bps, DGS30_5obs_bps)
  • price_proxy_pct = -duration * (yield_change_bps / 100)

The price proxy uses rough durations of 8.5 for 10Y and 17.5 for 30Y. It is a directional estimate, not a quote for a specific bond.

Inflation

  • CPI_YoY_pct = ((CPI_now / CPI_12_months_ago) - 1) * 100
  • core_CPI_YoY_pct = ((core_now / core_12_months_ago) - 1) * 100
  • CPI_3M_ann_pct = ((CPI_now / CPI_3_months_ago)^(12/3) - 1) * 100

Dollar weakness

  • dollar_20obs_pct = ((DTWEXBGS_now / DTWEXBGS_20obs_ago) - 1) * 100
  • dollar_60obs_pct = ((DTWEXBGS_now / DTWEXBGS_60obs_ago) - 1) * 100

Negative values mean the broad dollar index is lower than it was at the lookback point.
