Data

Macro series

18 FRED series across six families, pulled by the QuantCrystal engine and published as a single artifact that both quantcrystal.com and marketcrystal.ai read. One puller, two consumers — there is no second copy of this registry, and no number on this page was typed by hand.

How to read the freshness column

Staleness is judged against each series' own release cadence, never a flat clock. Treasury dailies publish at T-1; EIA petroleum series run about eight days behind; Case-Shiller lands roughly ninety days after the period it describes. All three are healthy. A single global freshness window loose enough to accommodate Case-Shiller would hide a genuine Treasury outage, so each series carries its own envelope.

6 of 18 series are outside their expected release window — marked STALE below. That is a statement about the publisher's schedule, not necessarily a fault.

Published nowcast

CPI (CPIAUCSL) index for the month after 2026-06 lands in [332.03, 334.026] (80% nominal). Point 333.027 vs naive 332.568. Driver: WTI -6.4% over 2026-07. One-month lead — this is a nowcast, not a long-horizon forecast.

This is a scored, falsifiable claim — it resolves against the actual CPI print and is recorded either way on the MarketCrystal track-record ledger. The lead is one month: it is a nowcast conditioned on oil that has already moved, not a long-horizon forecast.

What this is not

These are public series republished with their observation dates intact. Nothing here is a forecast, a recommendation, or a signal. The one predictive claim on the page is the nowcast above, and it carries its own resolution date so it can be scored against reality rather than described in retrospect. See the disclaimer.
