FinChiefs research

Research providers FinChiefs follows (banks, asset managers, central banks, multilaterals, independent researchers). Use the id to limit other tools to one provider.

Asset digest categories (gold, oil, us_bonds, eurusd, …) and macro categories (monetary_policy, geopolitics, …). Keys with has_daily_digest work with get_daily_digests; macro keys also filter search_macro_views and summarize_views.

Takes no parameters.

The overall picture from EVERY matching view in one small response: totals, up/down counts (asset views), how many providers lean each way, the busiest providers, a week-by-week trend, and the most-discussed assets or macro categories. Start here for "what is the consensus / how has it changed" questions, then read individual views with search_asset_views or search_macro_views.

Individual directional views (up/down) on assets, with provider, date, horizon, rationale and a link to the source publication. Up/down tallies cover every match; items come in pages (offset / next_offset), spread across providers by default. For the overall picture, call summarize_views first.

Individual macro themes and drivers from provider research (growth, inflation, policy, fiscal, geopolitics, …), each with a description and a link to the source publication. Items come in pages (offset / next_offset), spread across providers by default. For counts and trends, call summarize_views first.

Research publications (articles, reports, podcasts) with title, provider, date, a short description and the link to the original. Ranked by how well the terms match (title matches count most), then newest; pages via offset / next_offset. Follow the link for the full text where the publisher allows it.

Daily summaries written from all providers' views for a category (e.g. gold, oil, us_bonds, top macro themes, policy makers), with the day's up/down tallies. Good for how a view changed day by day. Category keys (has_daily_digest) come from list_categories.

Structured reads of central-bank and multilateral publications: decisions, stance (-2 dovish to +2 hawkish), guidance, conditions, speaker and forecasts, each with a link to the original. Newest first; pages via offset / next_offset.

Government bond yield curves for the US (Treasury), euro area (ECB AAA curve), UK (Bank of England) and Japan (Ministry of Finance): yields per tenor now, a day, a month and a year ago, the 2s10s and 3m10y spreads, and optionally weekly 2y / 10y / 2s10s history. Official data with its source.

Policy rates of the Fed, ECB, BoE, BoJ, Bank of Canada, RBA, SNB and PBoC: current rate, last change, moves in the past 12 months and the rate path since a date; plus the FOMC dot-plot medians (latest and previous release) when the Fed is included. Official data (BIS, ECB, Federal Reserve). Market-implied rate odds are not included.

Each central bank's next rate decision (and decisions of the past week): date, FinChiefs' preview, the research tally (one hike/hold/cut vote per research house — banks, asset managers, independent research firms and podcasts — counted from published notes) with its mix by house type, and the outcome once decided. Pass banks to also list each house with its call and latest note. Covers the G10 banks and India.

Weekly speculative positioning in futures: CFTC Commitments of Traders for US-listed FX, rates, equity-index, energy, metals, agricultural and bitcoin futures, and ESMA's MiFID II reports for Dutch TTF gas. Net position, % of open interest, week change, 52/156-week COT index, crowding, other trader groups, optional weekly history. Plain data, not a signal. No arguments lists every market's latest reading.

Economic indicators for the US, euro area, UK and Japan from official sources (statistics offices, central banks, OECD, FRED): inflation, growth, labour market, financial conditions, money and credit, housing, public finances, currencies, expectations surveys. Latest print with its period, change, source, optional history. Without keys or terms it returns the headline readings; catalog: true lists every key.
