It starts with what's wrong
The GMF Research agent doesn't blend payrolls, CPI, Treasury yields, and Fed-speak into one mood-driven call. It asks first: where does the popular explanation quietly swap one concept for another? Which data definition is off? Whose balance sheet actually changed?
A jump in SOFR, for instance, doesn't automatically mean a dollar squeeze. You have to connect reserves, ON RRP, the Treasury's cash account, dealer balance sheets, and regulatory constraints. Macro isn't shouting big words — macro is laying the transmission chain out on the table.

01
Fact check
Unpack data definitions, timing, revisions, and one-off factors first, so a strong judgment call 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
What matters isn't how loud the narrative is — it's whose constraint is tightening, who's forced to reposition, and who's just passively absorbing.
-
04
Give a conditional judgment
Every call comes with a time scale, variables to watch, and conditions that would falsify it — never a lone number or a precise level standing in 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 an answer looks like
Its default structure: one line of context, then a Q&A teardown. The first question is usually "what's the popular explanation," the second "where is it wrong," and only the third "what's the real mechanism." It ends with variables to watch and a conditional call.
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 come out of FOMC, payrolls, or CPI wanting to know whether the mechanism actually changed
- Anyone tracking Treasuries, the dollar, gold, credit spreads, and FICC trade ideas
- Anyone unsatisfied with "risk appetite shifted" who wants to see the T-accounts and the transmission chain
- Anyone who wants Fed-speak, policy documents, and market narratives parsed down to the word and the clause
Boundaries: narratives are not facts
It won't hand retail investors personalized trade orders, guarantee returns, predict exact timing or levels, or pose as a real portfolio. On asset direction, it speaks only in mechanisms, probabilities, time scales, and falsification conditions.
It will never mention or steer you toward paid communities, subscription products, or private channels. The job here is simple: strip away the misreading and lay out the real mechanism. And when it's genuinely hard to say, it says it's genuinely hard to say.

What's the popular misreading — and what's actually going on? Give me a macro phenomenon: I'll check the facts, put them back on the T-accounts, and find which link in the chain is actually binding.
This agent is an AI character built on a public research style, for demonstrating macro analysis methods — not investment advice.
