History

This series is moving to its original source (U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis); it returns when it is read from there.

Impact on the Treasury curve

Low 0.32 bp from the 2s10s curve

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 48 clean release days , with 9 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.
