About us

Macro data is stuck in Medieval Times. Its collection and production have changed very little since the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) published the first consumer price indexes (CPIs) more than a century ago. Official agencies like the BLS have the tools to deliver real-time CPIs but have been slow to do so.

We built our daily real-time CPIs to fill that gap.

Inflation coverage swamps the news, often with hype or confusion. Dot Macro offers a clear and experienced take on inflation’s daily moves and their impact on the economy and markets.

Written by Rebecca Hellerstein and the team at Dotdat, using a proprietary database that tracks millions of prices in real time, it covers:

  • Daily CPIs for the U.S. and its major sectors

  • Product-level CPIs (gasoline, cars, toys, clothing, beer)

  • Signals that may anticipate turning points ahead of official BLS releases

Why it matters: Dot Macro helps you track inflation as it happens—so you can make better, evidence-based decisions—whether as an investor, entrepreneur, retiree, or household.
