Macro dashboard
A macro dashboard built for what changed and what it means
A useful macro dashboard does more than display indicators. It tells you what changed overnight, where the current mix of rates, inflation, credit, crude, USD, and volatility sits versus history, and what regime that combination implies for positioning. Market Ontology's macro dashboard combines the daily Macro Regime read, the unified Market Brief, live indicator cards, and a transmission layer that connects each move to the assets it actually hits.
- Daily regime read
- Early/Mid/Late cycle, recession, or recovery - recomputed every morning from the indicator stack.
- Unified Market Brief
- What changed, why it matters, what it hits, what to watch - written objectively from data.
- Live indicator cards
- FRED, Treasury, EIA, BLS, options, credit, FX - all in one operating picture.
- Transmission overlay
- See how a move in crude or the curve propagates into breakevens, credit, and sector exposure.
Why a single dashboard matters
Macro investors do not lose because data is missing. They lose because data is scattered across eight tabs, three terminals, and a handful of newsletters that arrive after the move. The dashboard's job is not to add another feed - it is to compress the operating picture into one screen so the next decision is obvious.
Market Ontology's dashboard is structured around three reads:
- What is the regime? The macro regime classifier evaluates growth, inflation, monetary stance, financial conditions, and labor signals to assign a current regime with confidence.
- What changed overnight? The Market Brief surfaces the moves that matter - by magnitude, by historical context, and by transmission relevance - not by headline volume.
- What hits next? The transmission layer maps each move to the assets, sectors, and curves most exposed.
What you see on the dashboard
- Macro regime banner with current classification and recent shifts
- Cross-asset grid: rates, credit, equities, FX, commodities, vol
- Yield curve (2s10s, 5s30s) with current reading and recent moves
- Inflation system: CPI, breakevens, real yields
- Financial conditions index and credit spreads (HY, IG)
- Active geopolitical events with affected-asset chips
- Today's Brief: prose synthesis grounded in the day's data
Who uses it
Macro investors, family-office analysts, and PMs use the dashboard for morning prep. Strategy and risk teams use it to keep one eye on regime drift while running their own workflows. The dashboard is the entry point - every value links into deeper modules: rates, options, policy, geopolitics, materials.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an alternative to Bloomberg or Koyfin?
It is not a cheaper terminal. Bloomberg covers breadth; Koyfin covers charting. Market Ontology covers synthesis - the operating picture and transmission path, not just the data feed.
How often does the data update?
Macro indicators refresh on their official release cadence (FRED, BLS, Treasury). Market data updates intraday from cached public-market sources. The regime read recomputes daily.
