Methodology

How the Forecast Alpha Research Terminal converts inflation forecasts, market benchmarks, and regime information into market-relative inflation signals.

1. Forecast Alpha Framework

Model Inflation Forecast
Market Benchmark
=
Raw Forecast Spread
Calibrated Forecast Alpha

Forecast Alpha measures the calibrated difference between model-implied inflation and market-implied inflation. A positive value indicates that the model expects inflation above market pricing. A negative value indicates that the model expects inflation below market pricing.

2. Regime Classification

Macro Data
TV-HMM
Regime State
Regime-Aware Interpretation

The regime engine classifies the current macroeconomic environment using a time-varying Hidden Markov Model. Regime context matters because Forecast Alpha may behave differently across inflation persistence, disinflation, shock, and neutral environments.

3. Signal Construction

Positive Forecast AlphaInflation above market pricing
Near Zero Forecast AlphaModel and market broadly aligned
Negative Forecast AlphaInflation below market pricing

Signals are evaluated across multiple horizons: 1M, 3M, 6M, and 12M. The platform considers both the selected horizon and the cross-horizon signal structure to determine whether model-market disagreement is isolated or broad-based.

4. How to Use the Platform

  1. Start with the Dashboard. Review the featured signal, forecast spread, positioning guidance, and forecast drivers.
  2. Check the Regime tab. Confirm the active macro regime, confidence, duration, and transition outlook.
  3. Use the Signals tab. Evaluate signal strength, evolution, extremity, and cross-horizon structure.
  4. Review Track Record. Use historical evidence to judge signal reliability and calibration quality.
  5. Apply judgment. Treat Forecast Alpha as a research input, not an automated investment instruction.

5. Interpretation Guide

Forecast Alpha Market Interpretation
Large PositiveInflation may be underpriced by the market.
Small PositiveMild upside inflation risk relative to market pricing.
Near ZeroModel and market expectations are broadly aligned.
Small NegativeMild downside inflation risk relative to market pricing.
Large NegativeInflation may be overpriced by the market.

6. Important Limitations

Forecast Alpha is a measure of model-market disagreement. It is not a guarantee of future inflation outcomes, breakeven returns, or portfolio performance. Signals should be evaluated alongside regime context, historical reliability, portfolio objectives, liquidity conditions, and independent investment judgment.
