Reliability (DRS)
DRS 95 — CONTEXT. The Fed's industrial-production index for oil & gas extraction (volume, not barrels). Substitutes for two series FRED discontinued: the EIA crude-barrels series MCRFPUS2, and the crude-only IP index IPG211111CS (frozen 2021-04) — both verified dead 2026-06-07. Slightly broader than crude alone; energy independence is shown, not scored.
