#1
Fed Funds Rate
5.25–5.50%
FRED · DFF
The policy rate — the foundational variable in monetary economics, asset pricing models, and capital structure theory. Changes cascade through every financial model.
#2
10Y UST Yield
4.28%
FRED · DGS10
Risk-free benchmark rate used in CAPM, DCF models, and fixed income pricing. Current elevated yield creates the most interesting asset pricing environment in 15 years.
#3
2Y / 10Y Spread
-8bps (inverted)
FRED · T10Y2Y
Yield curve inversion — a topic with extensive academic literature as a recession predictor. Duration of current inversion is historically significant.
#4
Core PCE YoY
+2.8%
FRED · PCEPILFE
The Fed's preferred inflation measure. Active research area: how inflation expectations become unanchored, and what the optimal disinflation path looks like.
#5
VIX (Equity Vol)
16.4
FRED · VIXCLS
Implied volatility index. Relevant to options pricing theory, portfolio optimization, and behavioral finance research on fear and overreaction.
#6
Real GDP Growth (SAAR)
+3.1%
FRED · A191RL1Q225SBEA
Economic output growth rate. The primary macroeconomic variable in growth theory, business cycle research, and monetary policy transmission studies.
#7
Unemployment Rate
3.9%
FRED · UNRATE
Labor market health indicator. Current near-historic lows with persistent inflation creates an interesting test case for Phillips Curve and NAIRU research.
#8
MSCI World (YTD Ret.)
+8.4%
MANUAL
Global equity market return benchmark. Used extensively in factor research, international CAPM, and cross-border portfolio studies.

The ValixData Academic Research desk organizes market context for professionals working in professional services. It separates live market feeds from reference indicators so readers can see what is current, what is a baseline, and which source supports each figure.
The desk focuses on signals including Fed Funds Rate, 10Y UST Yield, 2Y / 10Y Spread, Core PCE YoY, and related indicators.
Desk status: Core desk. Reference values are not presented as live production feeds. Source cadence and methodology are documented on the methodology page.
Read data methodology →Academic Research is a Core desk.
Core means the profession has an explicit signal configuration. Commercial priority is driven by demand, source readiness and economics.
