Market Cycles

Understanding the business cycle is essential because it governs turning points in growth, profits, asset prices, and policy, and therefore underpins every major strategic decision in economics and markets. The framework is built around five groups of indicators: Group 1 (Core Business‑Cycle Sensors) provides the most reliable timing signals by tracking labour‑market momentum, production, GDP, equity discounting, and policy stance; Group 2 (Demand & Credit‑Cycle Drivers) acts as an early‑warning system for shifts in consumption, housing, and liquidity; Group 3 (Price & Inflation Dynamics) defines the policy regime by signalling inflation, disinflation, or deflation; Group 4 (Structural & Demographic Anchors) shapes long‑term growth potential even though it does not time cycle turns; and Group 5 (External & Sentiment Indicators) refines the macro picture through capital‑flow, competitiveness, and risk‑appetite signals.

Growth‑Rate‑Cycle Classification (Four‑Phase Model)

The four‑phase growth‑rate‑cycle model tracks how momentum shifts across labour markets, production, housing, liquidity, inflation, policy, and equities: Acceleration features rising NFP and IPI, improving housing, firming money growth, stable inflation, and strong equity trends; Peak Growth shows still‑strong but slowing labour and production data, housing topping, rising inflation, early tightening, and weakening market breadth; Deceleration brings sharp NFP slowing, rising unemployment, contracting production, falling housing activity, weakening liquidity, rolling‑over equities, and inflation peaking; and the Trough/Early Recovery phase stabilises at low levels with bottoming production and housing, policy easing, liquidity turning up, and equities beginning to lead the next expansion.
