Frequently Asked Questions

I'm not a trader or finance pro — is this for me?
Yes. QuarterlyIQ is built for everyday investors. We explain everything in plain English, and any time we use a finance term we tell you what it means.
How fresh is the data?
Our pages update whenever the government publishes new economic numbers. So when a new jobs or inflation report comes out, you see it here right away.
What does QuarterlyIQ cover today?
Right now we cover the US economy: a weekly summary, seven dashboards (inflation, jobs, GDP, interest rates, and more), and how each one is affecting different industries.
What does YoY mean? What about MoM?
YoY means 'year over year' — compared to the same time last year. MoM means 'month over month' — compared to last month. We use both to show how much something has changed. You can hover over any short word like these on our pages for a quick definition.
What's the 'yield curve'?
The yield curve is the line showing interest rates for US government bonds at different lengths — three months, two years, ten years, and so on. When short-term rates are higher than long-term rates, that's called an 'inverted' yield curve, and it often comes before a recession.
How do I read the cards on the Economy page?
Each card shows the latest number for one part of the economy, how it's changed recently, what forecasters expect next, and a short explanation of what it means. Click any card to see the full page with charts and history.
Who is QuarterlyIQ built for?
People who manage their own investments and want clearer answers about the economy than free finance sites give — without paying Wall Street prices.
Is the weekly Macro Pulse included?
Yes. Subscribers get the weekly Macro Pulse summary along with all seven dashboards.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel from your account whenever you want.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The free trial does not require a credit card, and you can cancel anytime.
Should I treat this as investment advice?
No. QuarterlyIQ is here to help you understand the economy and what it means for different industries. We're not telling you what to buy or sell — that's your decision.
