Frequently asked questions
What is the fed funds rate today?
The Federal Reserve's target range for the federal funds rate is 3.75%–4.00%. The effective federal funds rate was 3.88% on Nov 5, 2026. The 10-year Treasury yield was 4.84% on Nov 5, 2026.
What is the current US inflation rate?
Consumer prices rose 3.7% over the 12 months ending September 2026, as measured by the CPI-U. Core CPI inflation, which excludes food and energy, was 2.6%. The Fed's preferred gauge, PCE inflation, was 3.6% in September 2026, with core PCE at 3.1%.
Is the US economy in a recession?
Recessions are officially dated by the National Bureau of Economic Research, usually months after they begin, so no single number settles it. In the latest data, real GDP grew at a 3.4% annual rate in Q3 2026, the unemployment rate was 4.1% in October 2026 and the smoothed recession probability was 0.4% for September 2026.
Where does this data come from, and how often is it updated?
Every figure comes from FRED, the economic database of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, which republishes official statistics from the agencies that produce them. Each indicator updates on its source's own schedule — daily for market rates, weekly for mortgage rates and jobless claims, monthly for inflation and jobs, and quarterly for GDP — and this page re-checks FRED regularly.
