GOV DATA ⚠
⚠ GOVERNMENT DATA NOTE: CPI and M2 are official Federal Reserve / BLS figures. These carry reduced weighting (25% combined) due to well-documented methodological changes since 1990 — including substitution adjustments, hedonic quality corrections, and changes to M2 definition. Market-priced assets (gold, silver, bitcoin, DXY, real estate) comprise 75% of the CDI.

Normalization Formulas
Gold = (price / $272 − 1) / 9 × 100
baseline: $272 (year 2000)
Silver = (price / $4.95 − 1) / 9 × 100
baseline: $4.95 (year 2000)
Bitcoin = log10(price / 0.01) / log10(10M) × 100
log-scaled, $0.01 origin
DXY = (109 − value) / 40 × 100
inverted, baseline 109 (year 2000)
HPI = (value / 100 − 1) / 2.5 × 100
baseline 100 (Jan 2000)
CPI = yoy% / 10 × 100
M2 = yoy_growth% / 20 × 100
Why Market > Government Data
Gold, silver, bitcoin, real estate, and currency markets are priced by millions of voluntary transactions globally. They cannot be adjusted by committee.

Official CPI has undergone three major methodology changes since 1983 — including hedonics, geometric substitution, and owners' equivalent rent — that critics argue systematically suppress the reported rate.

M2 was temporarily discontinued in 2021. Its current definition differs from prior decades.

The CDI gives these signals 75% weight while retaining government data as a reference signal at 25%.
