The Macro Compass monitors the economic forces that move markets — Fed policy, inflation expectations, yield curve shape, USD, gold, and geopolitical risk — and distills them into a severity-ranked feed with plain-English "What It Means for Markets" summaries.
Every event is tagged CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW and archived in a timeline. No raw data parsing, no chart-reading — just the signal, the severity, and what you should know about it.
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.
