How to read this publication

Every item carries its format, and the format is a claim about what the item is. A market brief reports what an agency released, with forecasts labelled as forecasts. A research note says whether a study was peer reviewed. A regulatory update says whether the rule is in force. Where a claim rests on a source, the source is listed on the page.
