Are the market quotes exchange-level real time?
No. MFA labels the current market delivery source and notes that quotes may be delayed. It does not relabel a delayed source as tick-by-tick real time.
Markets & economic data
Market and economic data tools that put today's numbers in historical context.
A current market move is more useful when you can see the source timestamp, the prior observation and the longer history. MFA separates current market quotes from official economic releases and historical series so a delayed quote is not mislabeled as a live government statistic—or vice versa.

FAQ
What to know before relying on the output.
Why can an economic reading look older than today's date?
Official statistics follow release schedules. MFA shows the latest available source observation and its date rather than manufacturing a newer value between releases.
Does historical context predict what happens next?
No. Historical charts describe what happened in the selected series. They are context, not a forecast or investment recommendation.
