As Reported Data

Assess daily market movements and improve the accuracy of financial market models

As Reported Data provides market-moving economic indicators, unrevised and as reported upon the original day of release.

As Reported Data is published at a daily frequency (regardless of the frequency of the underlying indicator) allowing correlations to be made easily between macroeconomic indicators and daily financial series.

The service includes key indicators for the G7, Eurozone, China and Russia on an as reported basis supported by daily financial reference indicators for additional context.
