Data studio · Manufacturing pulse

Chart and compare any manufacturing series.

Plot and overlay 60+ live U.S. manufacturing data series from EIA, BLS, Census, the Fed, and IMF, read correlation and lead-lag between any two.

What you can do

  • Overlay any of the 64 live series the site tracks on a single chart and compare them directly.
  • Index every series to a common base of 100 so indicators with different units (a $70 crude price and a 350-point index) can be compared fairly.
  • Read the correlation and lead-lag between any two chosen series, computed on month-over-month changes so a shared trend is not mistaken for a relationship.
