Analyzing Macro Regime

When to use this skill

  • When the user asks for top-down macro context.
  • When investment conclusions need rate/inflation/growth framing.
  • When scenario planning requires macro sensitivity.

Workflow

  1. Plan
  • Define the regime question (inflationary slowdown, disinflationary growth, recession risk, etc.).
  • Select required indicators before analysis.
  1. Validate
  • Confirm indicator timestamps and release windows.
  • Confirm geography and period consistency.
  1. Execute
  • Build a compact regime view from indicators.
  • Translate regime into sector/asset implications.
  • List leading indicators that could invalidate the view.

Instructions

  • Use a fixed indicator set unless user scope says otherwise:
    • Inflation trend
    • Policy rate and real rate direction
    • Labor market momentum
    • Growth momentum
    • Credit/financial conditions
  • Distinguish level vs direction (high inflation vs falling inflation).
  • Separate cyclical signals from structural narratives.
  • Tie macro view to valuation impact, not just story.

Regime checklist

  • [ ] Indicator dates and sources stated
  • [ ] Current regime hypothesis stated
  • [ ] Alternative regime stated
  • [ ] Portfolio or sector implications stated
  • [ ] Invalidation triggers stated

Output template

## Macro Regime Assessment

### Current Regime Hypothesis
- <regime label>
- Confidence: <High/Medium/Low>

### Indicator Snapshot
| Indicator | Latest | Direction | Interpretation |
|---|---:|---|---|
| Inflation | ... | ... | ... |
| Policy Rate | ... | ... | ... |

### Investment Implications
- Sector tilt: <...>
- Valuation pressure/support: <...>

### Invalidation Triggers
- <trigger 1>

Error handling

  • If key macro data is stale, state staleness and reduce confidence.
  • If indicators conflict, present competing regime views.
  • If user asks for precision not supported by data, provide scenario ranges instead.
