How It Works
What Data Is Being Used?
This skill uses publicly available Federal Reserve data:
- FOMC Statements
- Interest Rate Decisions
- Inflation Reports (CPI/PCE)
- Employment Data
- Federal Reserve Speeches
What Skills Are Used?
- poll_polymarket_markets.py (for market context if needed)
- summarize_news.py (for economic news aggregation)
- fetch_econ_data.py (for direct data scraping)
Troubleshooting
No Output?
- Check that
--output-file ""is used (empty string) - Verify PowerShell compatibility with Python 3.8+
- Ensure no other process is blocking console output
Missing Data Points?
- Run with specific flags:
--with-inflation --with-employment - Some data may be unavailable due to delayed releases
Configuration (Optional)
Edit scripts/track_fed_policy.py in the root folder if you need to customize:
- Default time periods for data retrieval
- API endpoints for polling
- Output formatting preferences
Example Commands
Basic Execution
python "C:\Users\Legion 5i Pro\.openclaw\workspace\skills\fed-agent\scripts\track_fed_policy.py" --output-file ""
With Inflation Data
python "...\track_fed_policy.py" --output-file "" --with-inflation
Save to File
