## Frequently asked questions

### What is the Global Macro Pulse?

A daily read of the real economy from activity data: ships through the world's chokepoints, port calls and trade volumes at 2,000+ ports, flights by country, city traffic, and Taiwan and Korea chip exports. It moves days or weeks before official statistics.

### How often is the dashboard updated?

Every day. Shipping, ports and flights refresh overnight; monthly export series update when each country publishes.

### Can I get the data behind the charts?

Yes. Every series is on the FinzData API and in Claude, ChatGPT and Grok through the FinzData connector. Every key gets the last 30 days free; full history is $195 for Global Macro Pulse, or $29 per theme.

### What do the colors mean?

Teal is higher than a year ago, amber is lower. Ship and flight counts are 7-day averages so weekends do not distort the comparison.
