Overview

There is no dedicated chart type for this, but it's possible to use Time chart and Bubble graph type to create something similar.

How to create a Fed dot plot?

1. Add on Series list:
   • All Current FOMC Dot plot Votes series
     Country & Region > United States [us, Region] > Forecasts [fcst, Category] > Federal Reserve > Individual Assessments of Appropriate Monetary Policy (Dot Plot Votes) > Current
   • Values for each step from 0 to 8 (same as FOMC projection)
   • Policy path series (central tendency high & low)
     Country & Region > United States [us, Region] > Forecasts [fcst, Category] > Federal Reserve > Policy Path for Federal Funds Rate
   • Dot plot votes ranges (high, low, weighted average, median)
     Source & Release > United States [us, Region] > Federal Reserve > FOMC Policy Rate Decision (Fed Funds Target Rate) [rel_fedftr, Release]
   • Mid target rate series
     Country & Region > United States [us, Region] > Interest & Exchange Rates [rate, Category] > Policy Rates > Target Rates
2. Add Time chart, open Graph layout (Ctrl+L).
3. Arrange series in pairs:
   • Two Stripe graph types for two high/low pairs
   • Line graph type for Weighted average and Mid target rate
   • Bubble graph type for each value paired with corresponding projection series

Example

FOMC Policy Dot Plot

In this example we created always current equivalent of the Fed dot plot.
