Where these numbers come from

Every morning at 05:20 GMT, the Okodee Daily Brief collects these numbers. Each card links to the page its number came from. They go up here automatically, usually before 07:00 GMT.

Some sources don't publish every day. Inflation comes out once a month, T-bill rates after each Friday auction and fuel prices twice a month. When a source has nothing new, the card keeps the last value, shows its date and says “Not updated”.

Market prices come from free public sources and can differ a little from other feeds. These numbers are for information only. They are not investment advice.
