United States macro brief

The highest-signal pages for United States include Central Bank Policy Rate, Inflation Rate (CPI/HICP), Core Inflation, PCE Price Index, with each page linking back to the source metadata, release history, and API endpoint.

The Federal Reserve sets the federal funds target rate through the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which holds eight scheduled meetings per year. Its dual mandate is maximum employment and price stability, with a long-run inflation goal of 2% measured by the core PCE deflator. Decisions are accompanied by a Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) and 'dot plot' four times a year.

For USD research, combine the country-level release map with the EUR/USD dashboard, release calendar, and API reference so macro events, source metadata, and FX context stay connected.

The pages below are organized by indicator rather than API route. That keeps the public website useful for research while still preserving the versioned API contract for developers.

What to watch
  • Monthly NFP (first Friday) and CPI release.
  • FOMC statement, press conference, and SEP/dot plot.
  • ISM Manufacturing and ISM Services PMIs.
  • Initial jobless claims (weekly) for high-frequency labour-market signal.
  • Treasury auction results and refunding announcements.

USD questions traders ask

Currency-specific context that helps interpret the country data before moving into endpoints or dashboards.

Why is the US dollar the world's reserve currency?

The US dollar's reserve status reflects the size and openness of the US economy, the depth and liquidity of US Treasury markets, the global use of dollars to invoice commodities and trade, and the network effect of central banks holding USD reserves. Roughly 58% of global FX reserves and 88% of FX trades involve the dollar.

What economic data moves the US dollar the most?

The biggest scheduled USD movers are the FOMC decision, CPI, Non-Farm Payrolls, and core PCE. Off-cycle, surprises in retail sales, ISM PMIs, and Treasury yields can also drive sharp moves.

How does the Federal Reserve set US interest rates?

The FOMC votes on a target range for the federal funds rate at eight scheduled meetings per year. Decisions reflect the Fed's dual mandate of maximum employment and 2% inflation, and are implemented through interest on reserve balances, the overnight reverse repo rate, and open-market operations.
