Navigating the macro map

Identify the current economic phase, see which sectors tend to lead it, and track key indicators by region.

The economic cycle

The macro map places the economy in a phase — expansion, peak, contraction, or recovery — with a confidence reading, how long the phase has lasted, and what typically comes next. A cycle visualization highlights the active phase.

Sectors by phase

See which sectors have historically outperformed in each phase, plus current best and worst performers with their ETF tickers and one-year performance. A sortable table compares sector returns across 1M, 6M, 1Y, 3Y, and 5Y with a cycle rating.

Indicators by region

Switch between Overview, US, Europe, and Global tabs to track indicators such as GDP growth, unemployment, inflation, the Fed funds rate, the 10-year yield, PMI, consumer confidence, and industrial production. Click an indicator to open its detail.
