Econ Data workspace

Business-cycle board: the labor-market and CPI sheets lead with the live GDP tracker tabbed behind them, the weekly claims/activity/recession stack left, production + the business/consumer pulse right, confidence + data-surprise gauges below

Use it when: Around a data release, or when you want to know which way the business cycle is actually pointing rather than what the narrative says.

The business-cycle read behind both index futures. Labour and growth set the rate path, and the rate path sets the multiple you are paying.

• Preset strip under the menu bar — one click applies the whole layout. A checkmark tracks which preset is active.
• Or ask for it: show me the econ data.
• Every panel can be re-pointed at another symbol from its own header, and anything missing is one add <name> away.

• 1. The labor sheet and jobless claims — labour turns before almost everything else.
• 2. The CPI table beside it, so growth and inflation are read together rather than in sequence.
• 3. The GDP nowcast and recession stack last: they are the slowest and the most revised.

The tell: Claims rising while the surprise index falls is the combination that matters. Either alone is noise.

10 panels, read straight from the preset definition in the desktop build:

• Business Pulse
• Confidence Heatmap
• Consumer Pulse
• Econ Surprise
• Gdp Nowcast
• Industrial Production
• Jobless Claims
• National Activity
• Product Supplied
• Recession

Plus 7 dense sheets — wide tables that carry a whole complex in one upstream call rather than a wall of single-series tiles:

• business Sales
• capacity Util
• heavy Truck
• inflation Table
• labor Table
• transport Services Index
• weekly Activity

These desks assume the theory. If any of it is unfamiliar, the background reading is on the learn side:

• The economic cycle wheel: how sector leadership rotates

• All workspace presets — how docking, link groups and saved layouts work.
• Panel reference — what each panel shows, column by column.
