Data on economic indicators is free and published by government agencies. It can be easily accessed at some of the following locations:
- The Federal Reserve: Interest rates, money supply, flow of funds (FederalReserve.gov)
- Bureau of Economic Analysis: GDP, Current Account Balance (BEA.gov)
- National Bureau of Economic Research: Official business cycles (NBER.org)
- Bureau of Labor Statistics: CPI, consumer spending, productivity, employment (BLS.gov)
- US Census Bureau: New home sales, housing starts, homeownership, household income, poverty, trade data: manufacturing, retail, inventories, etc. (Census.gov)

- US Treasury (Treas.gov)
- Department of Commerce (Commerce.gov)
- The Conference Board (Conference-Board.gov)
- Congressional Budget Office (CBO.gov)
Note: Government data takes longer to aggregate and finalize, much longer than market data. Data for a period can take a month to a quarter to become available. You can usually find a release calendar on the website. Even after preliminary figures have been issued, they may be revised a year later. This should not come as a shock if your historical data needs to be restated.
For these reasons we may commonly dismiss such data to have any weight in interpreting market action, particularly in hindsight. The market generally leads the economy by 6-12 months.
