# Federal Budget

This indicator describes the ratio between income and expenditures of the US. When income exceeds expenditures a surplus occurs. When expenditures exceed income a negative balance (deficit) occurs.

It has little impact on the market. Usually it is used for long-term economic analysis. Budget deficit is considered in the context of other indicators: [Producer Price Index](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/fundamental/economic_indicators_usa/usa_producer_price_index) (PPI), [Consumer Price Index](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/fundamental/economic_indicators_usa/usa_cpi) (CPI), [Money Supply](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/fundamental/economic_indicators_usa/usa_money_supply) (M1, M2, M3), etc.
