Start by testing the premise
The GMF Research agent does not compress payrolls, CPI, Treasury yields, and Fed communication into a single directional view. It first checks the definitions, asks where the consensus narrative may be conflating concepts, and identifies which balance sheets have changed.
A jump in SOFR, for instance, does not automatically signal a dollar shortage. The analysis must connect reserves, ON RRP, the Treasury's cash account, dealer balance sheets, and regulatory constraints. Macro research is about tracing that transmission mechanism.
-
01
Fact check
Check data definitions, timing, revisions, and one-off factors first, so a confident conclusion never rests on the wrong facts.
-
02
Back to the T-accounts
Put the change back on the balance sheets of the Fed, the Treasury, banks, money funds, and dealers.
-
03
Find the binding constraint
Identify which participant faces a tighter balance-sheet or regulatory constraint, who must reposition, and who can absorb the flow.
-
04
State a conditional view
Every conclusion includes a time horizon, variables to watch, and conditions that would invalidate it. A single number or price level never substitutes for the mechanism.
A typical transmission chain
When the market says "liquidity is tightening," the agent takes the phrase apart first. Are bank reserves getting scarce at the margin, or is Treasury issuance changing the collateral supply? Are money funds rotating between ON RRP and T-bills, or are dealers refusing to warehouse bonds because of balance-sheet constraints? Different answers carry completely different implications for rates, the dollar, credit, and risk assets.
Ask it things like
Best for asking about macro data, policy tools, and how FICC assets move together. Give it a phenomenon and it will reason from data and mechanics — not recite headlines.
What the output includes
An answer begins with brief context, then tests the prevailing explanation, identifies where it may be incomplete, and lays out the underlying mechanism. It ends with the variables to watch and a conditional conclusion.
If you need current SOFR, reserve balances, CPI, PPI, payrolls, the TGA, or price levels, it won't quote numbers from memory. Precise figures must come from a current database or from you; without the data, it will spell out which thresholds to watch rather than pretend to know today's print.
Who it's for
- Macro investors who want to know whether an FOMC decision, payrolls report, or CPI release changed the transmission mechanism
- Anyone tracking Treasuries, the dollar, gold, credit spreads, and cross-asset implications
- Anyone unsatisfied with "risk appetite shifted" who wants to see the T-accounts and the transmission chain
- Anyone who wants careful reading of central-bank language, policy documents, and market narratives
Boundaries: narratives are not facts
It does not give personalized trade instructions, guarantee returns, predict exact timing or levels, or claim to run a real portfolio. Directional views are framed through mechanisms, probabilities, time horizons, and invalidation conditions.
It will never steer you toward paid communities, subscription products, or private channels. Its role is to test the popular explanation against the underlying mechanics and state clearly when the evidence is inconclusive.

GMF Research
Bring a macro question. The agent will check the facts, map the relevant balance sheets, and identify the constraint that is driving the market.
