If you are an economics student, there are five numbers you should be able to name right now without looking them up:
- US Fed Funds Rate.
- US CPI year over year.
- US unemployment rate.
- ECB deposit facility rate.
- Euro Area HICP.
If you cannot list all five from memory, that is fine—most people cannot. But if you are studying economics, you should be checking them regularly because they anchor almost every macro conversation.
Together they tell you where we are in the cycle, how tight monetary policy is, and how much slack is in the labor market.
EconLens gives you all five in one question, plus context about how they fit together historically and what they imply for policy. It is the fastest way to stay current on the numbers that actually matter.
