The current numbers behind this reading
The macro regime above is read from public economic data. Here are several of the underlying releases, each shown with its original source and release date:
- According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, consumer price inflation was 3.3% year over year as of July 2026.
- According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate was 4.1% as of July 2026.
- According to the Federal Reserve, the federal funds rate was 3.63% as of July 2026.
- According to the University of Michigan, consumer sentiment was 55.2 as of July 2026.
- According to the U.S. Treasury, the 10-year Treasury yield was 4.73% as of August 28, 2026.
- According to the Federal Reserve (ICE BofA U.S. High Yield index), the high-yield credit spread was 263 basis points as of August 31, 2026.
- According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the Atlanta Fed's real-time GDP growth estimate was 4.8% annualized as of July 1, 2026.
Given Analytics reads this combination of published conditions as stagflation mild. That is a description of the environment already visible in the data, updated every trading day. It says nothing about what happens next.

What is the market regime right now?
19 of 19 series are aligned with STAGFLATION MILD this morning. That is full agreement across the regime framework. The current Macro Regime is STAGFLATION MILD, with a Confirmation Score of 19 out of 19.
What does this regime mean, and how often has it held?
In the current configuration, the Macro Regime label STAGFLATION MILD means that growth momentum is decelerating while inflation momentum is accelerating, a combination that captures slowing activity alongside gently rising price pressure mathematically rather than anecdotally. The Coherence Score is at 19/19 and the Confirmation Score is 19 out of 19, and historically, regimes with scores in this range have persisted in 52% of comparable cases over a three‑month window. Compared to last week, confirmation is unchanged at a fully aligned 19 series, while the growth deceleration reading has deepened modestly and inflation momentum has edged higher, reinforcing the stagflationary tilt. Environments like this have historically coincided with choppier equity index paths, compressed valuation multiples in some segments, and more volatile energy and rate markets in the datasets we studied.
What else is the framework tracking today?
On the yield side, the 10‑year Treasury sits below the 4.45% trigger, with the curve (T10Y2Y) in RED momentum. Under the framework, RED means the rate of change is negative and below its own median, indicating a more inverted and deteriorating curve relative to prior conditions. In 6 of 11 comparable periods, this coincided with persistently elevated rate‑volatility readings and a “higher‑for‑longer” configuration in the term structure within a one‑ to two‑quarter window.
What else is the framework tracking today?
Labor conditions remain mixed beneath the headline payroll strength. The engine currently flags PAYEMS and ICSA as RED, meaning their rate of change is negative and sits below the median of their historical distribution over the lookback. In 8 of 12 comparable periods, this coincided with continued growth deceleration and a gradual weakening in employment metrics within two quarters in the historical sample, even when individual monthly reports looked strong. That pattern highlights how the framework focuses on momentum and aggregation rather than single data prints.
What are credit spreads indicating?
Credit markets are still adapting to the “higher‑for‑longer” backdrop that the math has been recording. Spreads and credit‑sensitive indicators sit in a broadly NEUTRAL to slightly RED configuration, captured by modestly rising stress measures but not yet in extreme zones. Using the same definitions, RED here again denotes negative rate of change below median. In 7 of 13 comparable periods, this coincided with a drift higher in credit spreads and more selective risk appetite within a three‑month timeframe in the data we analyzed.
What else is the framework tracking today?
In equities and sectors, Technology is leading with short‑term price strength, while Utilities, Real Estate, and long‑duration assets are under pressure. The engine classifies Technology as GREEN momentum, meaning positive rate of change above its own median trend, while defensive and rate‑sensitive groups skew RED. In 9 of 15 comparable periods when growth was decelerating, inflation was accelerating, and secular growth sectors were GREEN while defensives were RED, the sample showed increasingly fragmented equity performance within three months, with wider dispersion across sectors rather than uniform index moves.
What conditions is the framework watching next?
Turning to the conditional map, the first if‑then trigger the engine is monitoring is the 10‑year Treasury yield at 4.45%. If the 10‑year yield crosses 4.45% and holds for 5 consecutive sessions, inflation composites historically showed acceleration in 9 of 11 comparable instances. In those periods, the regime configuration often moved closer to Acceleration, with both growth and inflation picking up in the data, though not in every case.
What else is the framework tracking today?
The second live trigger is sentiment‑based. If the Fear and Greed index drops below 15 and holds for 5 consecutive sessions, the confirmation score deteriorated in 7 of 9 comparable instances in the historical record, often coinciding with increased regime instability and more frequent transitions on the 19‑series map. The map is live. These conditions are being monitored daily across all 19 series.
How does the Given engine work?
Atlas is the automated, rules‑based engine inside Given Analytics. Atlas is an automated, rules‑based engine that does two things in parallel: it publishes a view of the broader macro environment, and it runs a fixed four‑layer mathematical framework across 407 liquid symbols every trading day. The environment view and the symbol‑level condition log are separate outputs, shown side by side. The regime does not select the symbols; the four layers do. Atlas monitors symbols independently of any regime label — members study the outputs and decide what, if anything, to do with them.
What else is the framework tracking today?
More specifically, Atlas is the automated, rules‑based engine inside Given Analytics. It does two things in parallel. First, it publishes a view of the macro environment — the regime, the Confirmation Score, and the historical base rates we just covered across 19 series. Second, it runs a fixed four‑layer mathematical framework — Price Structure, Rate of Change, Risk Regime, and Market Participation — across 407 symbols every trading day. When all four layers agree on a symbol, Atlas records it as a potential long or potential short condition under the framework. These are time‑stamped, model‑driven readings, logged for members to study as historical behavior. The environment view and the condition log sit side by side inside Atlas. They are separate outputs, and Atlas monitors 407 symbols in the same way regardless of which Macro Regime is active. Members use Atlas to study how the framework has recorded conditions across prior environments — as historical behavior, not as trade selection. Atlas runs the framework. You study the outputs and environment. You decide what to do next. This is MAY, POTENTIAL, EDUCATIONAL context around a fixed rules‑based process, not a set of instructions.
Where can I follow this every day?
The Morning Brief is the public surface. The live Atlas dashboard shows the full 19‑series regime map, today’s Mathematical Conditions across 407 symbols, and the historical archive side by side. Members study the environment and the Atlas outputs each morning. If you want to track this alongside us, the live view is at givenanalytics.com.
