"Right!" said FRED: Q1 2026 Finance and Economics Challenge

In 1991, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis launched the Federal Reserve Economic Data database, known as "FRED." As of the launch of this challenge, FRED included over 800,000 data series covering an array of financial and economic data. Fourteen questions are included, with all sourcing provided by FRED. Do you have what it takes to "call the quarter?" The top three performers who forecast on at least 12 of the 14 questions will receive a special GJO badge, and the top performer will be interviewed for a piece on our Good Judgment Insights blog if it's their first time in first place. Make your forecasts!
