About this indicator
- What it measures
- Conditions in money markets, debt and equity markets and the banking system, from 105 measures of risk, credit and leverage.
- How it is calculated
- Estimated by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago with a dynamic factor model; zero is the average since 1971 and the unit is one standard deviation.
- How to read it
- Positive values mean tighter-than-average financial conditions; negative values mean looser.
- Caveats
- The whole history is re-estimated every week, so past values change often. Those changes show up in the revisions log.
- Frequency
- Weekly
- Typical release
- Weekly on Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time, for the week ending the previous Friday.
