Key insights
- The user is seeking a free Google Sheets template or dashboard to track key macroeconomic indicators such as inflation, CPI, USD exchange rates, and treasury yields. They aim to monitor these factors over various timeframes (1, 6, 12 months) to gain insights into market movements, acknowledging their limited finance knowledge and the time investment required for self-building. This request focuses on personal tracking tools rather than direct market news.
So there are a couple of macro factors out there, beyond the obvious S&P, DOW, NASDAQ movements, but for example, inflation rate, CPI, USD dollar to X currency, treasury rates, high yield OAS rates, etc.
Is there any google sheets that you use (thats free) to help summarize and track this in a simple dashboard? I dont need real time so much as current value, maybe also the past 1 month , 6 month and 12 month range (or more).
To help get a reading on the some of the macro factors involved in the market?
I am looking into building it out myself but I have no finance knowledge and its taking quite a while to research some value, then figure out how to load it into google sheets and parse through it etc.
Just want to see if anyone has a free google sheets dashboard type sheet have for a lot of the macro / industry metrics that might be more efficient or something I can build off of.
