Data freshness

How recently a displayed observation was recorded relative to its accepted update window.

In plain language

Current, stale, and unavailable describe the recorded observation, not the quality of a forecast. A stale value can still be genuine historical data, but it should not be mistaken for a live or current price.

What to check

  • Read the observation timestamp and market date.
  • A fresh price does not prove that forecast inputs or a model are ready.
  • Unavailable values stay blank rather than being replaced with estimates.
