Nowcasting GDP/Inflation from Alt‑Data

Goal: nowcast GDP and inflation using alternative data. Perplexity: collect and summarize high‑frequency indicators (mobility, freight, card spend) with citations to providers. Bloomberg: ECST<GO> and BQL pulls for weekly/monthly proxies; GP<GO> to chart; ECO<GO> for official releases to benchmark. Deliverable: nowcast vs consensus gap and trade implications.
