Frequently Asked Questions

What economic indicators does ExecBolt track?

ExecBolt tracks over 28 government economic indicators organized across five categories: rates and inflation (federal funds rate, 10-year Treasury yield, CPI, PCE, PPI), growth (real GDP, industrial production), employment (unemployment rate, nonfarm payrolls, jobless claims, JOLTS), consumer activity (consumer confidence, retail sales, personal spending), and housing (housing starts, existing home sales, Case-Shiller index). Each indicator includes historical data, trend direction, and context for what it means for business planning. All data is sourced from FRED, BLS, BEA, and the U.S. Treasury.

How often is the market data updated?

Market data including S&P 500 stock prices, sector ETF performance, and major index levels is refreshed regularly from public financial data sources. Economic indicators follow their own release schedules set by government agencies. Monthly indicators like CPI and jobs data are updated within 24 hours of release. Quarterly indicators like GDP are updated after each advance, preliminary, and final estimate. The data release calendar is set by the BLS, BEA, and Federal Reserve, so you always know when the next update is coming.

What stocks are included in the market dashboard?

The market dashboard tracks the 50 largest S&P 500 companies by market capitalization, covering all 11 GICS sectors including technology, healthcare, financials, consumer discretionary, industrials, energy, and more. Each stock page shows current price, market capitalization, sector classification, year-to-date performance, and daily change data. The sector heatmap on the homepage gives an instant visual read on which parts of the economy are strengthening or weakening, making it easy to spot rotation trends.

How do the business calculators work?

Our calculators use current economic data (prevailing interest rates, inflation rates, tax brackets) to model real financial scenarios that business leaders face regularly. For example, the compound interest calculator uses actual Treasury yields, and the inflation calculator uses the latest CPI data. They are designed to give quick, accurate estimates for executive-level decision-making: evaluating project ROI, understanding real vs. nominal returns, modeling payroll costs, or comparing lease vs. buy scenarios. For complex decisions, always consult a qualified financial professional.

Where does the economic data come from?

All economic data is sourced from official U.S. government agencies, ensuring accuracy and reliability. The Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) API provides interest rates, money supply, and financial market data. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) provides employment, inflation (CPI), and wage data. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) provides GDP, personal income, and trade balance data. The U.S. Treasury provides yield curve and government debt data. Stock market data comes from public financial data providers. We never use estimates, projections, or unofficial sources for core indicators.

What is the sector heatmap showing?

The sector heatmap displays the recent performance of the 11 GICS sector ETFs that represent major segments of the U.S. economy. Green cells indicate sectors gaining value, red cells indicate sectors losing value, and the intensity of the color reflects the magnitude of the change. This gives executives an at-a-glance view of sector rotation. For example, if technology is deep green while energy is red, it suggests growth-oriented sectors are outperforming cyclical ones. Sector performance often foreshadows broader economic trends and can inform business strategy, hiring plans, and capital allocation decisions.
