Fundamentals tracker
What US agencies publish on energy, crops, futures positioning and monetary policy — and, for each series, where it stands within its own history. Dated, sourced observations, not forecasts.
Public fundamentals
Method
- What was published, and when
- Every value carries the official release date of its report, read from the agency's calendar — not the week or month it describes. An EIA stock for the week ending on a Friday comes out the following Wednesday or Thursday; that is the date shown.
- The five-year average
- For each EIA weekly stock, the published week closest to the same calendar date (within 3 days) in each of the five previous years: the benchmark the EIA prints in its own reports, recomputed here from its series. If any one of those five weeks is missing, no average is shown.
- Gas-week weather
- Daily degree days from the Climate Prediction Center (NOAA), contiguous US, summed by GeoPulse over the seven days of the week covered by the gas report — heating weighted by utility gas customers, cooling by population — and compared with the average of the ten previous years on the same dates. These are GeoPulse calculations from NOAA data, not a NOAA product.
- Non-commercial positioning
- The net (long minus short contracts) published by the CFTC for each tracked futures market, and its rank within its own range over the last 104 weeks and over five years. A position, not a signal; the five-year rank is only served on an almost complete history.
- What this tracker does not do
- It forecasts nothing and draws no market direction from these figures: a stock above its average, a cold week or an extreme positioning read here as facts, with no colour and no verdict. All of this is US public-domain data; sources are listed at the bottom of the card.
