Market Data

After writing my last post on the Fed I thought it might also be helpful to include some current market data for the economy. So included in my links section on the right side of the page is one called Market Data. This link leads to the Wall Street Journal’s market data center where you can easily look up several different and important current market indicators.

Some of the most important listed are the current DJ Industrials, S&P 500, Treasury Bills, futures for commodities such as oil, currency exchange rates, and of course the federal funds rate from my last post along with the prime rate. These are not even close to the only data listed on this page and I hope you will find some of it useful for decision making.
