| description | Full macro regime analysis with optional equity screening: country coverage, economic outlook, regime signals, factor tilt implications, and top-scoring equities in the target market via Parallax MCP tools. NOT for portfolio-level morning briefs (use /parallax-morning-brief), not for single stock analysis (use /parallax-deep-dive). |
| negative-triggers | ["Portfolio morning brief → use /parallax-morning-brief","Single stock analysis → use /parallax-deep-dive or /parallax-should-i-buy","Thematic screening across all markets → use /parallax-thematic-screen","Reacting to a specific news event → use /parallax-scenario-analysis"] |
| gotchas | ["list_macro_countries shows available coverage — check before querying a country","check_macro_health verifies data freshness — run first to avoid stale analysis","macro_analyst summary call returns all 9 components inline — do not make separate per-component calls","get_telemetry shows how macro regime affects the scoring engine","Smaller/EM markets may have fewer scored equities — set expectations"] |
Macro Outlook
Deep macro regime analysis with optional equity opportunity screening. Covers any of Parallax's 40+ global markets.
Usage
/parallax-macro-outlook "United States"
/parallax-macro-outlook "Japan" equities=true
/parallax-macro-outlook "China" component=tactical
/parallax-macro-outlook — compare US, Europe, Japan
Workflow
Execute using mcp__claude_ai_Parallax__* tools. JIT-load _parallax/parallax-conventions.md for execution mode and fallback patterns.
Batch 0 — Tool Loading
Call ToolSearch with query "+Parallax" to load the deferred MCP tool schemas before the first mcp__claude_ai_Parallax__* call.
Batch A — Coverage + regime (parallel)
| Tool | Parameters | Notes |
|---|
list_macro_countries | — | Confirm markets |
check_macro_health | — | Data freshness |
get_telemetry | fields: regime_tag, signals, commentary.headline, commentary.mechanism, divergences | Market regime |
Batch B — Macro depth (after Batch A)
- Call
macro_analyst for the target country (summary — no component parameter). The summary call returns all 9 components inline (macro_indicators, tactical, fixed_income, currency, sectors, sector_positioning, liquidity, news, factors). Do not make separate per-component calls.
- Call
get_score_analysis for a market bellwether stock (e.g., AAPL.O for US, 7203.T for Japan). ETFs are not in the scoring universe.
- If multiple countries: repeat for each and compare.
Batch C — Equity opportunities (optional, after Batch B)
If requested: call build_stock_universe with "[country] equities". For top 5: get_peer_snapshot (parallel). For top 3: get_score_analysis 26 weeks (parallel).
Output Format
- Regime Status (current regime tag, key signals, headline)
- Macro Summary (country-level economic overview)
- Deep Dive (macro indicators, fixed income, tactical components as requested)
- Factor Regime Interaction (which factors are favored/disfavored in this environment)
- Positioning Implications (what this means for portfolio construction)
- Top Equity Opportunities (if equity screening included: table with symbol, name, sector, score, trend)
- Data Freshness (when macro data was last updated)
