Limits. This page shows daily readings, not intraday levels; a market can trade above or below them during a session. The US Energy Information Administration data reach FRED with a lag of about one week, so the latest reading can trail the market. Records refer only to the history this source carries; older data from other sources may show higher or lower levels. Nothing here is a forecast.
Method and source. Octans Research computes every figure on this page from the full published history of Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED) series DHHNGSP. "Highest since" is the last earlier date when the series was at or above the latest reading. The page is regenerated by a fixed template when a new reading is published; no model wrote it.
