How Macrotome sources its data and builds its analysis — no black box.
Macrotome builds professional macro analysis for the Forex market. Rather than just displaying raw data, it runs its own engines that turn central bank communications, economic releases, and market data into clear, structured analysis.
Everything starts from reliable, verifiable data — sourced directly from official institutions and trusted providers. We only show what can be traced back to a real source. This page explains where that data comes from, and what each engine does with it.
Central bank data — rate decisions, statements, press conferences, and projections — comes directly from official publications: the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Bank of England, Bank of Japan, Reserve Bank of Australia, Reserve Bank of New Zealand, Bank of Canada, and Swiss National Bank.
Positioning data comes from the CFTC's weekly Commitments of Traders report — the same public dataset used by institutional desks. Bond yields and rate data come from official sovereign and market sources.
Macro indicators — inflation, growth, employment and more — are sourced through established data providers, with values checked against official releases. New sources are verified before they go live.
Macrotome's core value is the analysis it builds on top of that data. Each engine focuses on one part of the macro picture:
Policy Radar — reads each central bank's communications and evaluates their tone, from dovish to hawkish, to show where every major central bank currently stands on policy.
Momentum — measures how incoming economic data compares to what the market expected, to show whether an economy is beating or missing expectations.
Bonds — tracks sovereign yields and rate differentials between countries, one of the deepest drivers of currency moves.
Compass — brings every signal together into one view per currency. Rather than blending them into a single number, it keeps each signal visible side by side — because when signals disagree, that gap is itself information.
Macrotome writes a daily and weekly macro report from that period's central bank moves, data surprises, and market conditions. The reports are generated automatically and reviewed for quality — a fast, readable summary of what's moving the markets.
Central bank analysis and momentum — recomputed daily
Positioning (COT) — weekly, following the CFTC's release
Bonds and market data — daily
Reports — a daily edition, plus a deeper weekly edition every Sunday
Macrotome will never tell you what to buy or sell. It analyses, scores, and cross-references — but the decision is always yours.
No magic signals. No black box. The goal is to give serious traders the deepest possible understanding of why a currency is over- or undervalued, and which way momentum is leaning, so they can make their own call, on their own terms.
