macro regime decoder for traders

The problem

Traders often struggle to translate raw economic reports into actionable market signals. Manually scoring GDP, CPI, and employment data against a growth-inflation matrix is time-consuming and prone to subjective bias.

What it does

• Maps GDP, employment, spending, inflation, and interest rates into one of four core economic phases.
• Calculates quantitative growth and inflation scores using a standardized scoring rubric.
• Generates a macro dashboard with assessments for each key indicator relative to historical trends.
• Provides tactical asset class implications for equities, bonds, commodities, and cash.
• Produces specific trading ideas, including ETF and sector suggestions, based on the current regime.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

This skill applies a rigorous, multi-step scoring system that prevents the LLM from making "vibes-based" macro calls. It forces data normalization and qualitative validation, ensuring consistent output that follows a professional growth-inflation matrix rather than generic summaries.

Use cases

• Convert monthly jobs and CPI prints into a structured risk-on or risk-off assessment.
• Determine whether to favor cyclical or defensive equity sectors based on growth trends.
• Identify duration risk in bond portfolios by analyzing interest rate direction and inflation.
• Scan for stagflation or overheat signals to rotate into commodities and inflation hedges.

Known limitations

Requires manual input of data points as it does not fetch real-time data from external APIs. Results are macro-analytical frameworks and do not constitute personalized financial advice.
