Google Launches Domestic Trends on Finance Site

Google has just launched a new search traffic tracking tool called Google Domestic Trends. Domestic Trends tracks 23 economic sectors including retail, auto, employment, construction, computers and electronics and more.

The premise for coming up with this tool is that changes in search volume of a given sector on Google.com may be useful for financial analysts and investors to know which among these sectors are actively searched by consumers.

In addition, the Google Finance Blog wrote:

Each index value is baselined at 1.0 on January 1, 2004 and is calculated and displayed on the Google Finance charts as a 7-day moving average. You can easily compare actual stocks and market indexes to these Google Trends on the charts.

Google Domestic Trends sits right inside the Google Finance Site. Individual sector data can be downloaded and used freely for comparison with your own statistical models.
