Understanding Macro Reality
Why macro data feels confusing
Economic data comes in different units—percentages, points, ratios—making comparison impossible without normalization. News headlines amplify noise, cherry-picking metrics to fit narratives. This tool cuts through by showing all pillars on one unified scale.
How we normalize economic indicators
We use z-score normalization: each metric is compared against its own 1-year average and standard deviation. This shows whether current values are historically high, low, or normal—regardless of their original units. The result is mapped to a 0-100 scale.
Why one page is enough
Four macro pillars—inflation, rates, currency, stocks—capture 90% of the forces shaping economic conditions. More data creates noise, not clarity. One page forces focus on what matters: the relative pressure across key indicators.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is economic data normalized?
Each metric is normalized using z-score methodology: (Current Value - 1-Year Average) / (1-Year Standard Deviation). Results are clamped to -3 to +3 and converted to a 0-100 scale for easy comparison across different economic indicators.
Is this financial advice?
No. This tool is for informational and educational purposes only. It provides economic context and awareness, not financial, investment, or policy advice. Always consult qualified professionals for financial decisions.
How often is data updated?
Data is fetched in real-time from public APIs when you load the page. However, underlying economic data (like inflation) may have inherent reporting lags of days to months depending on the source and release schedules.
Which countries are supported?
Currently, the dashboard focuses on US and global macro indicators, including Federal Funds Rate, USD exchange rates, S&P 500, and related indices. India-specific data (NIFTY 50, RBI rates) is included where available.
