Source

Source module: fedwatch
Data source: back_fillable

Fetched directly from app/sources/fedwatch.py; see source code for the upstream API call and any provider-specific handling.

How it’s computed

Fetched directly from the fedwatch source; see app/sources/fedwatch.py for the upstream API call.

Where it surfaces

• API field: signals.fed_rate_lower on GET /api/v1/signals/latest
• Surface: daily_signals row (daily-cadence persistence)
• Surface: /signals/sparklines (UI sparklines)

Health-score / alignment role

Data carrier — no implication, no health-score contribution.

Persisted for downstream consumers (sparklines, base-rate matcher, calibration substrate) but does not classify into BULLISH / NEUTRAL / BEARISH and does not contribute to the 0-100 health score.
