How often is the data updated?

Data is refreshed from multiple sources each time you load the page.

Marlowe Keynes aggregates data from six primary sources: FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) for US economic indicators, Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) for equity market data, Trading Economics for global PMIs and international indicators, Databento for futures and derivatives data, EOD Historical Data for additional market metrics, and Polygon.io for real-time market data.

Does the chartbook show recession periods?
