Macro events are the biggest driver of asset prices — but most investors can\'t translate them fast enough to act. A Fed hawkish pivot means something very different for growth stocks than for gold than for the dollar. The Macro Compass synthesizes every significant macro development daily and delivers each event with a severity rating and a plain-English "what this means for equities, bonds, gold, and commodities" — so you know where to focus before markets open.
No raw data parsing. No chart-reading. No 2-hour analysis session after each data release. Just the signal, the severity, and the specific implication for each major asset class — delivered before US markets open.
Rate decisions, dot plot shifts, QE/QT signals, Fed speaker analysis — with severity tagging and historical context.
Breakeven inflation rates, PCE/CPI trends, real yield calculations, and forward pricing of inflation expectations.
2s10s and 3m10y spread monitoring, inversion alerts, and historical recession signal context.
DXY trend, major currency moves (EUR, JPY, CNY), de-dollarization signals, and currency war indicators.
CRITICAL geopolitical events with direct market impact assessments — tagged by asset class affected and estimated impact magnitude.
Every event has a 2-sentence summary: what happened and what it means for equities, bonds, gold, and commodities — no finance degree required.
The Macro Compass monitors the macro events most likely to move markets: Federal Reserve policy shifts (rate decisions, QE/QT signals), inflation expectation breakevens, yield curve shape (2s10s spread, inversion signals), USD index movements, gold and commodity macro signals, geopolitical risk events, and central bank activity across 10+ major economies. Every event is tagged with severity (LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH/CRITICAL) and a plain-English "What It Means" summary.
Bloomberg gives you raw data and headlines that require interpretation. The Macro Compass uses AI to classify, prioritize, and summarize each macro event into a 2-sentence "what this means for markets" — so you spend 5 minutes getting oriented rather than 3 hours reading.
The underlying macro event data is refreshed daily. The AI synthesis runs each weekday morning, producing a structured feed ordered by severity with the most market-critical events at the top. Historical events are archived in a timeline going back through the current cycle.
Yes — the AI Stock Analyst automatically pulls the latest Macro Compass context when analyzing any ticker. The confluence score includes a macro factor that weighs the current macro regime (risk-on vs. risk-off, inflationary vs. deflationary) against the position being analyzed.
CRITICAL events are macro developments that have historically caused >5% S&P 500 moves within 5 trading days: Fed emergency cuts/hikes, sovereign debt events, oil supply disruptions exceeding 2M bpd, banking system stress indicators, and major geopolitical escalations involving nuclear powers or global shipping lanes.
