New Intelligence Feeds Surface Economic and Policy Risk Before Markets React, Turning Narrative Shifts into Actionable Signals Across 40+ Economies
LONDON, 3 February 2026 – Against a backdrop of persistent inflation uncertainty, geopolitical fragmentation, policy divergence, and sharp cross-asset swings, leading AI-driven market intelligence provider Permutable AI today announced the launch of its country-level macro signals data feeds – designed to help investors detect macro inflection points earlier and manage risk more confidently.
The new suite delivers structured economic, policy, and sentiment indicators at national level for more than 40 economies, enabling traders, analysts, and portfolio managers to see shifts in growth, sovereign risk, and policy credibility before they are reflected in traditional data or prices.
In today’s markets, waiting for lagging indicators such as CPI, GDP releases, or central bank decisions can mean reacting too late. Permutable AI’s signals instead track changes in real-world and narrative momentum as they happen – providing early warning when risks are building beneath the surface.
Intelligence for a More Fragile Market Regime
From rate shocks and commodity spikes to elections, trade tensions, and supply chain disruption, global markets are increasingly driven by fast-moving narratives rather than slow-moving statistics.
Yet most macro investors still rely on backward-looking datasets.
Permutable AI closes this gap by analysing millions of local and international sources in real time, transforming unstructured information into systematic, tradable signals that highlight:
- Policy pressure before central bank pivots
- Inflation stress before official releases
- Political and implementation risks before markets reprice
- Divergences between perception and on-the-ground reality
The result: investors gain earlier context to adjust FX, rates, credit, and sovereign exposure — reducing drawdowns and improving timing.
Seeing the Cycle First
Backtested data demonstrates the platform’s predictive power across major economies.
In the United States, Permutable AI’s inflation sentiment flagged the 2021–22 price surge months ahead of core CPI, while rates sentiment turned before the 10Y Treasury yield during the Fed’s hiking cycle. In Japan, the system signaled Bank of Japan normalisation risk and the end of ultra-loose policy ahead of rate changes, providing early positioning signals for JPY and duration trades.
“What we are now offering is the most comprehensive on-the-ground macro sentiment across every country, updated every minute. We still maintain that market sentiment moves markets,” said Wilson Chan, CEO and Founder of Permutable AI.
“In volatile environments, investors can’t afford to react after the fact. By analysing local-language sources alongside international coverage from across 180+ countries, we’re giving investors the ability to see policy pressure, growth momentum, and market risk as it builds – not after prices have already moved. This is intelligence that supports better decisions in real time.”
Domestic vs International: Two Lenses, Better Risk Control
The platform’s dual-lens approach captures both ground-level domestic sentiment and international “from the outside” perception.
- Domestic sentiment reveals street-level stress, policy execution risk, and coalition dynamics
- International sentiment reflects institutional narratives, geopolitical themes, and cross-border capital flows
This distinction is key in volatile markets where mispricings often emerge from narrative disconnects.
“The biggest alpha opportunities often emerge when domestic reality diverges from international perception,” said Michael Brisley, Chief Commercial Officer at Permutable AI. “If local sentiment is deteriorating but global headlines remain calm, risk is building quietly. If the opposite is true, markets may be overreacting. That gap is where mispricings live. Our country-level intelligence makes those disconnects visible and actionable.”
Built for Real-World Decision-Making
Permutable AI’s country intelligence datasets directly support trading and risk management workflows:
- Cycle & risk monitoring – Spot domestic stress before it hits Bloomberg headlines. Flag early signals for FX repricing, curve steepening, or spread widening.
- Perception vs fundamentals – Identify when markets are trading narrative rather than underlying reality.
- Policy & political risk – Detect execution slippage, street pushback, and credibility risks using local sources.
- Cross-asset allocation – Integrate sentiment series into systematic models across FX, rates, credit, and sovereign strategies.
- Volatility management – Reduce surprise events and improve positioning ahead of catalysts.
