Central Banks & Fed Operations
Real-time Fed nowcasts, the weekly H.4.1 balance sheet breakdown, and daily Treasury operating cash balance. The plumbing behind U.S. monetary and fiscal policy.
The Fed balance sheet and Treasury General Account together determine the volume of reserves circulating in the banking system. Nowcasts from Atlanta, New York, and Cleveland Fed staff provide real-time estimates of GDP and inflation, often weeks ahead of official releases. These operational metrics are what actually moves rates and reserves, as opposed to the policy statements that describe intent.
