Markets have seasons.
Learn to read them.

Where you are in the economic cycle determines everything that follows. Our framework tracks two forces, growth (ISM) and inflation, to identify which of four macro seasons we're in. Tap each season to see what it means for your money.

☀️ SUMMER · We are here
Inflationary Boom: ISM 54 is still in expansion, the 5th straight month. This week the Fed raised its 2026 inflation outlook to 3.6% and flipped its dot plot toward a hike, deepening the Summer regime. A durable Hormuz reopening that cools CPI is what could tilt us back toward Spring, the strongest crypto season of all.
