Global Financial Markets (OECD)
Rates, equities and currencies for the whole OECD in one clean Parquet - the most-requested cross-country macro-finance panel. Harmonised monthly short-term (3-month) and long-term (~10-year government bond) interest rates, the national share-price index and the real effective exchange rate - the US, Japan, the euro area, the UK and every member, one row per country × series × month since 2000. The comparable rates/FX/equity feed carry, curve and cross-asset models need; licence-clean and AI-training-safe.
