TRADE90 Data Sources & Update Policy
Trade90 is a source-linked forex monetary-policy research website. Our published official rates and bank updates are dated curated observations, not continuously refreshing market data. This page explains where the figures come from, how often they currently change, and what we do not publish.

7 refresh or review checks need attention. Some source checks may be partial or older analyst-reviewed records may need reassessment. Previously published figures remain dated.
Audit time is when TRADE90 evaluated its saved datasets. It is NOT the time each source observation, benchmark or analyst note was verified.
Current refresh status: Trade90's public policy-rate and decision-calendar records are updated through a curated publication workflow. An hourly GitHub Actions process monitors official bank publications, automatically publishes bank-owned source links, and attempts strict, bank-specific verification of rate decisions. Only documents with an approved source, explicitly parsed benchmark and verified effective date may update the eight-bank rate snapshot. This is **not complete coverage**: some bank release feeds omit decisions, PDF-only decisions lack a verified parser, and ambiguous effective dates are deliberately withheld. Meeting calendars and policy summaries remain separately curated. A daily research-health audit now publishes source-check times and highlights outstanding review gaps; it does not automatically recertify curated summaries, calendars. The site may be out of date between checks. Passing a build does not mean external rates or news were refreshed.
Government bond yield curve sources
Yield Curve Intelligence uses source-specific 2-year and 10-year government bond observations, not policy-rate futures. The daily pipeline records source failures and missing country coverage rather than inserting a synthetic yield. Each national measure may have its own instrument type, publication frequency and redistribution restrictions. Inspect yield-curve availability by currency →
Yield Curve Intelligence — source coverage
6 of 8 government bond yield curves have currently verified observations. The source-retrieval date does not change the observation date. Missing or stale yields are not added to the policy-rate divergence model.
Open Yield Curve Intelligence → · Source series and original publication dates are preserved. NZD source access and the stale CHF historical dataset are not silently backfilled.
Automated official-source checks
Official links are checked automatically. Supported rate-decision documents undergo additional bank-specific verification before any policy rate can change.
Loading monitor status…
Automatic rate updates publish only when both the official benchmark and effective date pass source-specific validation. Unknown formats, PDF-only decisions and ambiguous cases retain the last verified figure; check the separate snapshot date.
Automatically discovered official publications
TRADE90's hourly source watcher now maintains a continuously updated, source-linked publication archive for all eight central banks. The latest links are displayed directly on the central-bank updates page and on relevant currency-pair pages without manual publishing. The time a link was first detected is not its original release date, and discovering a link does not prove that a rate changed. The older curated editorial summaries. Qualitative model assessments remain separately documented.
Strictly validated official policy decisions can update the rate snapshot and an downloadable rate-decision history (JSON) automatically. Unsupported or ambiguous documents are held back, and source-health failures are recorded rather than replaced with invented figures. Published decisions may arrive later than the bank's actual announcement because checking, validation and website deployment are not instantaneous.
How frequently does TRADE90 update?
Source discovery runs hourly on a best-effort schedule through GitHub Actions; individual runs can be delayed, fail or be blocked by the source website. It records official source links and independently checks supported monetary-policy decision formats. If all strict validations pass, the official benchmark can publish without manual approval; otherwise the previous value is preserved. Source health from the latest successful scan is shown above.
| Dataset | Actual operating status | Planned verification standard |
|---|---|---|
| Official central-bank benchmarks | Bank-specific automatic verification can publish confirmed decisions; unsupported or ambiguous cases stay on the last verified rate | Continue expanding primary-source rate coverage across all eight banks and auditing edge cases |
| Upcoming policy meetings | Curated dated calendar; not an automatically synchronized calendar | Review daily and after schedule-change announcements |
| Decisions, minutes and policy reports | Curated records; an hourly automated monitor also discovers official publication links for review | Check bank publication channels on business days; publish verified changes promptly |
The third column describes editorial and source-verification targets, not automatic replacement of dated analyst assessments. The daily freshness audit above is scheduled for 07:23 UTC after the economic retrieval window. Official monetary-policy benchmarks typically change at decision meetings; repeated source checking does not imply a new rate decision.
Reliability: what you can trust, and what it means
Primary-source decisions published by the Fed, ECB, BoE, BoJ, RBA, RBNZ, BoC and SNB. The benchmark and effective date can be checked against the original bank link. High confidence applies to the official announcement as of the stated date; it does not establish that the page is up to date today.
Meeting dates, minutes and policy statements recorded from the bank's own pages. Meeting times can change, special decisions may occur, and summaries are editorial interpretations rather than verbatim bank statements. Check the linked release before acting.
How are interest-rate gaps calculated?
For each market-standard FX pair, we take the selected base currency policy benchmark, subtract the selected quote currency policy benchmark, and multiply by 100 to express the signed result in basis points. The absolute gap removes the sign and is used for ranking.
For example, a base benchmark of 4.00% and quote benchmark of 2.50% produce a +150 bp signed policy-rate gap. This is a reproducible arithmetic comparison, not a currency trade, an executable FX forward quote, a broker rollover rate or a prediction. Different central banks also define policy benchmarks differently. See our full methodology and source registry.
Copyright, permissions and lawful data use
Trade90 links to official central-bank websites and provides independently written factual comparisons and short explanatory summaries. Public access to an official webpage does not automatically mean all its content is free to reproduce or redistribute; each institution's copyright notices, data-use policies, attribution requirements and access conditions must be respected.
Third-party media coverage, exchanges, futures data, OIS pricing, API feeds and derived real-time datasets may carry separate copyright, licensing, access, contractual and onward-distribution restrictions. We should not ingest, republish or label any of these as publicly licensed without checking the relevant terms and obtaining permission when needed. A subscription, trial, or API key alone does not establish redisplay rights.
Our editorial policy requires original brief summaries with primary-source links. A link or attribution alone is not a substitute for permission where permission is required. Local financial-publishing, privacy, advertising or regulated-investment rules may also apply depending on content, users and jurisdiction. This is an explanation of TRADE90's publication approach, not a legal opinion or guarantee of regulatory compliance.
Quick answers for forex traders
Is TRADE90 updating every minute?
No. The published policy-rate figures come from a source-checked, static dataset. Visiting or refreshing a page does not recheck official central-bank sources, and TRADE90 now runs an hourly source monitor and daily economic-data retrieval and freshness audit, but a successful check is not a new official rate decision or a new analyst review.
How do I know whether a particular number is current?
Check the source-verification date next to the number, then open the linked official bank release. A number can be correctly copied from a past decision yet no longer be the latest official benchmark. “Verified snapshot” is not synonymous with “live”.
Can this information legally be displayed?
Trade90's own arithmetic on sourced public facts is different from wholesale copying a publication or redistributing a licensed derivatives feed. Permitted use depends on the specific source and its terms, along with applicable national laws. Attribution and a link do not automatically provide rights to republish copyrighted articles, datasets or exchange quotations.
Official source and external-data terms
We review source-by-source permissions rather than treating all freely accessible data as public-domain content. Relevant original notices include the Federal Reserve Board's website disclaimer ↗, the ECB copyright and reuse conditions ↗, and CME Group's market-data licensing information ↗. Specific datasets may have additional or different terms.
Before selling an API, introducing live or delayed exchange-derived pricing, or redistributing a third-party market-data product, TRADE90 must check the permitted usage, display, derived-data and onward-distribution rights in writing. TRADE90's current policy-rate divergence model does not use exchange-derived market-pricing feeds.
What happens when sources disagree or become stale?
For official policy benchmarks, the original bank decision and effective date take priority over commentary or secondary market reports. If a rate, meeting date or attribution cannot be verified, its status should be reviewed or withheld rather than silently replaced. This site is currently based on a static snapshot workflow and does not yet offer automated missing-source alerts or a guaranteed correction response time.
