How to use AI prompts to analyze central bank policy

Central-bank analysis should compare new information with prior guidance and market expectations. Identify the institution, meeting or publication date, policy horizon, and assets affected before asking for interpretation.

Separate the policy decision, statement language, projections, voting pattern, press-conference signals, and balance-sheet actions.
Compare the outcome with consensus and market pricing, then trace scenarios through rates, currencies, credit, equities, and liquidity.
Use official releases and timestamped market data, and distinguish confirmed policy from conditional forward guidance.
