FAQPage Schema

How do I track macroeconomic indicators to identify the current market phase?▼

Track macroeconomic indicators by classifying them into leading, coincident, and lagging categories to compute the current macro cycle phase. This reveals timing and potential turning points for cross-asset analysis and scenario planning.

What is a surprise index and how does it quantify economic data momentum?▼

A surprise index quantifies momentum and surprises in economic data releases. It maps actual indicator readings against expectations to generate actionable macro signals for traders and researchers monitoring market phases.

How do I map leading, coincident, and lagging trends for cross-asset analysis?▼

Map leading, coincident, and lagging trends by applying deterministic evaluation to indicator cycles. This structured data handling produces clear input/output formats to decode macro signals for cross-asset analysis.

Can I use economic indicator readings like PMI, GDP, and CPI for macro cycle positioning?▼

Yes, you can use economic indicator readings like PMI, GDP, and CPI for macro cycle positioning. The skill processes these modular indicator definitions to compute phase and surprise signals deterministically.

What is the best way to consolidate macroeconomic indicators for scenario planning?▼

The best way to consolidate macroeconomic indicators for scenario planning is to group them by timing classification. This deterministic evaluation reveals the current market phase and potential turning points for risk managers.

Do I need specific data formats to compute macro cycle position and surpriseIndex?▼

You need structured data formats to compute macro cycle position and surpriseIndex. The skill requires modular indicator definitions with clear input/output formats to perform deterministic evaluation of indicator cycles.
