Nowcasting Macro

Macroeconomic Forecasting

Know where the economy is right now — not last quarter.

Nowcasting Macro blends a multi-model forecast engine with daily news sentiment to read the present for the world’s major economies — nowcasts, forecasts and diagnostics in one terminal.

Why “Nowcasting”?

Official statistics land weeks after the quarter they describe — GDP roughly six weeks late, surveys within a fortnight. So the latest official figure is already history. We estimate where each economy is today by anchoring the forecast to real-time news tone, and flag it honestly when a figure is a nowcast rather than a forecast of the future.

World Sentiment Map

Daily news tone across every tracked economy, scored −100 to +100, on an interactive choropleth.

Country Terminals

Per-indicator nowcasts and forecasts with probability ranges and a plain-English read on accuracy.

Macro Laws

Textbook relationships — Okun, Phillips, Taylor and more — estimated per country and graded by the data.

Scenario Planner

A Bayesian-VAR engine: shock one variable and trace the ripple through the rest of the economy.

News Sentiment

Indicator-aware sentiment analysis that interprets economic developments in context—for example, falling inflation is treated as positive news rather than simply a decline.

Transparent Methodology

Two dozen forecasting models compete; the most accurate is deployed. The reasoning is in the glossary.

A Research Platform

The forecasts, laws and scenarios you see are the public face of a wider macro-research engine.
