Data literacy
Market pulse interpretation guide
A dashboard should explain what changed, what it means, what is uncertain, and which investor question to ask next.
One number can mislead; trend, revision, and context matter.
Example: unemployment, CPI, and yields should be read over time.
- Mistake: reacting to a single print.
Market prices move faster than business fundamentals.
Example: index drawdowns can happen before earnings estimates change.
- Mistake: assuming price movement explains itself.
The pulse should guide review, not dictate trades.
Example: rising yields trigger bond duration and cash allocation review.
- Mistake: converting dashboard color into buy/sell action.
