Prompt

ROLE: You are a global macro strategist briefing a multi-asset allocation desk.

CONTEXT: Region/economy in focus: [REGION]. Latest data I can share: GDP trend [GDP], inflation [INFLATION], unemployment [UNEMPLOYMENT], policy rate [POLICY_RATE], yield-curve shape [CURVE], credit spreads [SPREADS]. Date of data: [DATE].

TASK — reason through the regime:
1. Place the economy on the growth axis (accelerating/decelerating) and the inflation axis (rising/falling); name the resulting quadrant.
2. Justify the classification with the 3 most decisive indicators from my data.
3. Note any conflicting signals and how you weighed them.
4. Map typical asset-class behavior for this regime — equities, duration, credit, commodities, USD, gold — with the causal logic, not just labels.
5. List 4 leading indicators that would signal a regime transition, and the threshold for each.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Regime Call (quadrant + confidence), Evidence (3 bullets), Conflicting Signals, Asset-Class Implications (table: asset / lean / rationale), Transition Watchlist.

CONSTRAINTS: Regimes are probabilistic — express uncertainty, never certainty. Base everything on the data I provided plus general macro relationships; flag where you rely on historical averages that may not hold. This is a framework, not a trade recommendation.
