- Debt & Interest (Macro): The 10-year yield on Today is close to what the Treasury pays to borrow for ten years, so when it stays higher the cost of new and refinanced federal debt rises. (moves the same way; months; economy scale) Source: FRED (Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis).
- Credit & Housing (Macro): The 30-year mortgage rate tends to track the 10-year yield plus a spread, so a lasting move in the yield on Today reaches home-loan rates within days. (moves the same way; days; economy scale) Source: FRED (Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis).
- Oil to Prices (Macro): The oil price on Today is the first stage of the chain from crude to consumer prices; a move that lasts reaches the pump within weeks and other prices over months. (moves the same way; weeks to months; economy scale) Source: EIA, daily spot prices (Brent, NY Harbor ULSD, Gulf Coast jet; NYMEX futures to April 2024).
