Forecast Alpha Dashboard
Current calibrated Forecast Alpha across the 1M, 3M, 6M, and 12M horizons. The 3M horizon is emphasized as the featured signal.

Signal diagnostics translate Forecast Alpha into market-relative inflation views across horizons.
Historical evidence on Forecast Alpha reliability, horizon dependence, regime dependence, and forecast archive observations.
Forecastability varies across horizons. Tactical horizons show the strongest decomposition evidence.
Forecast Alpha monetization is state-varying but not state-exclusive.

How the Forecast Alpha Research Terminal converts inflation forecasts, market benchmarks, and regime information into market-relative inflation signals.
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.
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.
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.
| Forecast Alpha | Market Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Large Positive | Inflation may be underpriced by the market. |
| Small Positive | Mild upside inflation risk relative to market pricing. |
| Near Zero | Model and market expectations are broadly aligned. |
| Small Negative | Mild downside inflation risk relative to market pricing. |
| Large Negative | Inflation may be overpriced by the market. |
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.
The complete Forecast Alpha methodology, empirical framework, validation results, and research findings are documented in the current working paper.
