Tracker

The Tracker plots macro, market, and environmental time series. You pick a data family, choose an indicator, filter it by country and date range, and draw a chart. You can also overlay several series to compare them.

The Tracker with a data-family tab selected and a chart plotted below the control bar.

Data families

Tabs across the top switch between families:

• Macroeconomic Growth, inflation, employment, interest rates, trade.
• Markets Equity indices, bonds, and volatility.
• Commodities Energy, metals, and agricultural prices.
• Climate Temperature, precipitation, and vegetation, including map views.
• Demographics Population, births, deaths, and migration.
• Calendar A schedule of economic data releases.

Each tab shows a badge with how many charts are currently plotting that family.

Choosing what to view

Below the tabs, a control bar adapts to the selected family:

• Indicator: pick from the family's list of series.
• Country / region: choose a country or region. This is disabled for global series such as commodities.
• Date range: set the start and end dates.
• Frequency: daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual. Only the frequencies available for your selection are shown.
• Chart type: line, area, or bar. Climate adds seasonal and map views.
• Fetch Data: load and draw the chart.

A few specialized views

• Currency Matrix (under Macroeconomic): a grid of currency cross-rates, color-coded by daily move.
