# How to make a distinction between item feature and environment feature?

My data is stock data with features such as stocks' closing prices.I am curious to know if I can put the economy feature such as 'national interest rate' or 'unemployment rate' besides each stocks' features.

Data:

Date Ticker Open High Low Close Interest Unemp. 1/1 AMZN 75 78 73 76 0.015 0.03 1/2 AMZN 76 77 72 72 0.016 0.03 1/3 AMZN 72 78 76 77 0.013 0.03 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 1/1 AAPL 104 105 102 102 0.015 0.03 1/2 AAPL 102 107 104 105 0.016 0.03 1/3 AAPL 105 115 110 111 0.013 0.03 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 

As you can from the table above, daily prices of AMZN and AAPL are different but the Interest and Unemployment rates are the same. Can I feed the data to my neural network like the table above?

In other words, can I put the individual stocks' information besides the environment feature such as interest rates?
