Permutable’s upcoming Global Macro Sentiment Indices (GMSI) transform global news flow into machine-readable macro intelligence across 95 countries, 12,000 sources and 70 languages. Designed for systematic investors, macro strategists, economists and risk teams, GMSI helps users monitor evolving macro narratives, identify emerging risks and opportunities, and gain deeper insight into the forces shaping markets between official economic releases.
Markets move on information long before official data confirms the trend. Economic releases arrive monthly. Policy decisions follow a schedule. Yet macro narratives evolve continuously, shaped by millions of signals emerging across news, policy, geopolitics and global markets every day.
At Permutable, we have spent the last several years rethinking how these signals can be measured.
Today, we are previewing the upcoming launch of the Permutable Global Macro Sentiment Indices (GMSI) – a new generation of machine-readable macro intelligence designed to help investors, researchers and risk teams monitor the changing macro environment in real time.
Built on proprietary AI and macroeconomic intelligence frameworks developed by Permutable, our Global Macro Sentiment Indices transform global news flow into structured country-level sentiment signals across:
- 95 countries
- 12,000 validated sources
- 70 languages
The result is a broader, deeper and more globally representative view of macroeconomic narratives as they emerge.
A new standard for macro intelligence
The upcoming release introduces significant enhancements across source coverage, thematic depth and signal granularity. Designed specifically for systematic investors, macro strategists, economists and cross-asset risk teams, Permutable’s Global Macro Sentiment Indices helps bridge the gap between official economic releases and market interpretation.
Users will be able to monitor evolving narratives across key macro themes including inflation, growth, monetary policy, trade, labour markets and geopolitical risk. More importantly, our Global Macro Sentiment Indices has been engineered to provide a richer understanding of how macro pressure develops, evolves and spreads across the global information environment.
Why macro narratives matter more than ever
As macroeconomic uncertainty becomes more persistent, the ability to systematically monitor evolving narratives and global events is becoming an increasingly important component of research, risk management and investment decision-making. Changes in inflation expectations, policy credibility, geopolitical developments and growth outlooks can all influence market behaviour before they become visible through traditional economic datasets.
At Permutable, our vision is to help organisations navigate this complexity by transforming unstructured information into structured intelligence. Our Global Macro Sentiment Indices represent an important step in that direction, providing a new framework for observing how macro narratives evolve across countries, regions and themes in real time.
Leadership perspective
“Markets increasingly react to narratives before they react to data,” said Wilson Chan, Founder and CEO of Permutable. “With our Global Macro Sentiment Indices, we’ve focused on building a framework that helps make those narratives measurable. This launch represents an important step forward in how macroeconomic information can be transformed into actionable intelligence.”
Michael Brisley, Chief Commercial Officer at Permutable, added: “Global investors face an overwhelming volume of information every day. Our goal with Permutable’s Global Macro Sentiment Indices is to help clients identify the signals that matter, understand how narratives are evolving and gain a clearer view of emerging macro risks and opportunities.”
Coming Soon
The launch of Permutable’s Global Macro Sentiment Indices marks the next evolution of our macro intelligence platform. Clients can expect expanded sources, broader coverage and deeper granularity
More details will be revealed soon. In the meantime, any enquiries ahead of official release can be sent to our team at enquiries@permutable.ai.
