Universal Global Macro Indicators Framework

Explain common relationships, leading and lagging indicators, and possible asset-class effects while making uncertainty explicit.

How to Interpret Global Growth Forecasts

Beginner

Shows how to read global and regional GDP forecasts, compare revisions, and turn them into portfolio questions rather than certainties.

ID 262

Act as an economic-outlook analyst. Use the latest available forecasts from primary institutions and state the date, publication, and forecast horizon. Compare global growth, advanced economies, emerging economies, revisions, and uncertainty ranges. Explain what may already be priced in and translate the scenarios into questions about allocation, risk, and correlations, not a buy or sell instruction.

Labor Markets and Workforce Participation

Beginner

Connects employment, unemployment, participation, wages, vacancies, and productivity with inflation, growth, and possible policy responses.

ID 263

Act as a labor economist. For United States, analyze employment, unemployment, participation, wages, hours, vacancies, and productivity. Distinguish levels, trends, and revisions; cite sources and dates; and explain scenarios for growth, inflation, and monetary policy without relying on a single release.

Inflation Drivers Map

Beginner

Breaks headline and core inflation into goods, services, housing, wages, energy, food, and supply effects using dated current data.

ID 264

Act as an inflation specialist. For United States, use recent official data to break headline and core inflation into energy, food, goods, housing, wages, and services. Explain persistence, base effects, and pass-through; state data dates and revisions; and separate observed drivers from future scenarios.

Global Risk Early-Warning Dashboard

Pro

Organizes macroeconomic, credit, trade, funding, commodity, and geopolitical signals with sources and historically tested thresholds.

ID 265

Select eight early-warning indicators of global risk as of today's date. For each one, define the metric, primary source, frequency, deterioration signal, and limitations. Include credit, trade, dollar funding, commodities, and geopolitics. Do not invent a universal threshold without historical evidence.

Emerging versus Developed Markets: Comparing Trends

Beginner

Compares emerging and developed economies with consistent data while recognizing the wide variation within both groups.

ID 266

Compare emerging and developed economies using the latest available data. Choose five comparable indicators, cite sources and dates, and analyze growth, inflation, capital flows, demographics, productivity, and commodities.

Build upside, base, and downside scenarios for growth, employment, profits, and inequality, and cite current data for any specific factual claim.

Geopolitics and Trade Policy Impact Model

Medium

Connects tariffs, export controls, sanctions, and supply-chain shifts with trade, production, prices, currencies, and sectors.

ID 268

Act as a geopolitical and macro strategist. Identify current trends in tariffs, export controls, sanctions, and supply-chain reconfiguration. Cite sources and dates, explain transmission to trade, inflation, production, currencies, and sectors, and propose confirmation signals and scenarios rather than categorical predictions.

Currency and Capital-Flow Macro Signals

How to use AI prompts to interpret macro indicators

A macro release is meaningful only relative to its definition, revisions, expectations, and broader trend. State the economy, series, release date, frequency, and market question you are trying to answer.

Check units, nominal versus real values, seasonal adjustment, base effects, survey methodology, revisions, and historical comparability.
Compare the latest value with consensus, prior releases, trend, dispersion, and related leading or confirming indicators.
Explain plausible market channels and alternative scenarios without treating one data point as proof of a regime change.
