History
Loading chart…
A note on vintages Economic data is revised. This chart plots the series as it stands today — the current vintage — not the figure that was first published on each release day. A revised number can differ materially from the print the market actually saw, so this line is a record of what we now believe happened, not a record of what was known at the time.
Impact on the Treasury curve
Medium 1.90 bp from the 10-year level
On this indicator’s past release days the Treasury curve moved that much more than it did on a quiet day — a day on which none of the tracked indicators released — across 57 clean release days , with 4 excluded because another tracked release landed the same day. It is a backward-looking measure of what already happened. It is not a forecast of the next release, and it is not advice. Read the full methodology.

No consensus, and why
No consensus shown — we don’t license survey estimates. The “expected” figure on a commercial calendar is a survey of economists sold by a data vendor. It is not a government work, there is no public-domain source for it, and we would rather say so than print an empty column. There are no prediction-market odds here either, for the same licensing reason.
