MDS MACRO / RESEARCH
Behind the news —
market logic.
CPI, NFP, COT and rates: MDS methodology, historical cases, visual explanations and calculations with your own inputs. From an indicator reading to evidence that supports or changes a scenario.
01 / INFLATION
How to read CPI: what inflation changes for traders
Do not simply pick the largest number. Compare the surprise, the composition of price increases and the implications for central bank policy.
Open analysis and calculation
02 / LABOUR MARKET
How to read NFP: jobs, wages and revisions
A strong headline can hide a weak package. Combine employment, unemployment and wages into one assessment.
Open analysis and calculation
03 / POSITIONING
How to read COT: who holds the position and what changed
Examine net positioning, its composition and the report's lag. A rise in Net does not always mean new buying.
Open analysis and calculation
04 / MONETARY POLICY
Rates and yields: what really changes the macro backdrop
Markets price not only today's policy rate but also its future path.
