PMI activity
PMI is a diffusion index: above 50 indicates expansion; it is not a GDP growth rate.

Monitoring framework
Market-implied rates are pricing, not central-bank forecasts. Term premium and credit spreads measure different risks.
06 · DATA GOVERNANCE
Sources & methodology
Each observation should carry: country, indicator, value, unit, reference period, release date, previous value, source name, source URL and update timestamp. Missing or unreleased data must remain blank rather than be estimated.
- UK: ONS, Bank of England, S&P Global.
- US: BLS, BEA, Federal Reserve, FRED, S&P Global.
- Compare only equivalent definitions. Always display reference period and publication date.
- Refresh the dashboard when a source releases new data; the fortnightly monitor checks for releases rather than manufacturing new readings.
