What this is (and isn't)

This page is an environment read, not a signal service. It helps you avoid fighting liquidity, policy, and rate trends. Combine it with your own price action and risk rules.

FAQ

What is the yield curve spread (10y minus 2y)?

The difference between 10-year and 2-year US Treasury yields. A positive spread often aligns with expansionary conditions, while a deeply negative spread can reflect tight financial conditions and elevated recession risk.

What does liquidity (M2 YoY) tell investors?

M2 measures broad money. Faster growth can support risk assets over time, while sustained contraction often coincides with tighter conditions and weaker risk appetite.

What is real policy rate?

A simplified gauge of policy tightness: Fed Funds rate minus inflation (Core PCE YoY here). Positive real rates are typically more restrictive than negative real rates.

What is Growth minus Inflation (YoY)?

A simple composite: growth proxy (industrial production YoY) minus inflation proxy (Core PCE YoY). Positive readings suggest growth dominance; negative readings suggest inflation dominance.

How should traders use this page?

Use it as a regime compass. If rates momentum and liquidity are supportive, you can size risk higher. If real rates are restrictive and the curve is inverted, reduce leverage, tighten risk, and favour quality and liquidity.

How often does the data update?

Most series update daily or monthly depending on the source. Each card shows its latest date. Release sparklines show recent history so you can spot direction and persistence.
