Is this investment advice?
No. Simple Macro Guide is educational only. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset, or to take any financial, tax, or legal action. Read the full disclaimer. If you need advice, consult a qualified professional who knows your situation.

How should I read the data?
Use our pages as a map, then open the primary source. Check whether a chart shows levels or growth rates, real or nominal units, and seasonally adjusted or not. Prefer FRED, ONS, BEA, BLS, IMF, and World Bank documentation over anonymous screenshots. Start with the CPI data guide and the sources directory.
Why do UK and US labels differ?
Institutions evolved separately. CPI versus PCE in the US, CPI and CPIH in the UK, and different money aggregate labels are examples. We flag those differences instead of forcing one vocabulary onto both countries. Country snapshots for the United States and United Kingdom help with context.
How often do you update content?
We publish evergreen explainers and revise pillars when clarity or sources need work. Long form pages carry an updated date when we refresh them. We do not promise a daily news desk. Macro concepts change slowly; data prints change often, so we point you to live official releases.
Do you run ads or affiliate links?
Not at this stage. The priority is trustworthy educational pages and technical SEO. Soft calls to action point to Contact, About, FAQ, and the data guide.
Can I reuse the writing?
Please link to canonical pages rather than copying large passages. For permissions or corrections, use Contact.
