Use Official Data
Updated 4 August 2026 · 2 min read · 10 Contents
Plain-language meaning
Use Official Data is a source-backed research workflow for one exact exchange listing or a clearly stated market scope. It describes available evidence and never creates a recommendation or trade instruction.
Where it appears #
Official Data groups source-published macro, regulator and government observations by applicable region.
Step-by-step workflow #
1. Confirm exchange and instrument. 2. Select the intended period or scope. 3. Read source, unit, native currency and as-of time. 4. Inspect available rows. 5. Open supporting evidence. 6. Treat missing inputs as unavailable. 7. Save or compare only like-for-like evidence.
Worked example #
Illustrative only: illustrative CPI 5.0% year-over-year and 0.4% month-over-month are different comparisons and cannot be substituted The example is not a live quote, forecast or expected result.
How to interpret the result #
Higher, lower, positive and negative values retain the definition of the displayed field and period. A genuine zero is evidence; unavailable is missing evidence. No single field determines whether an instrument is suitable.
Limitations and common mistakes #
Coverage, reporting periods, stale observations, corporate actions, methodology changes and small samples can limit comparison. Never combine unlike currencies, scales, sessions or instruments without an explicit compatible basis.
Market-specific differences #
Country selection never falls back to another country's rows; revisions and release lags remain visible.
