Fed economic snapshot

Key Federal Reserve economic indicators — fed funds rate, unemployment, and CPI — in one call.

When to use this pack

An agent providing economic context needs the three most-watched Fed indicators: where rates are (FEDFUNDS), how tight the labor market is (UNRATE), and where inflation stands (CPIAUCSL). Three FRED series calls bundled into one payment.
