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 — 14 of 21 tracked economic series agree with that reading. 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?
14 of 21 series are aligned with STAGFLATION MILD this morning. That is a moderate degree of systematic agreement across the 21 series in the macro framework.[1][3] The current Macro Regime is STAGFLATION MILD, with a Confirmation Score of 14 out of 21.[1][3]
What does this regime mean, and how often has it held?
In this regime, the math is observing growth momentum decelerating at DECEL () and inflation momentum accelerating at ACCEL (), a configuration where economic activity softens while price pressures build under the framework’s rate-of-change lens.[1][3] The Coherence Score captures how consistently the 21 series cluster around that stagflationary pattern, while the Confirmation Score measures how many are formally aligned with it on the current reading.[3] By our framework’s reckoning of comparable historical conditions, regimes with a Confirmation Score in this moderate range have held in roughly 41% of cases over three-month windows, with the most frequently observed next state being an Acceleration-style transition — a characterization of past patterns only, not a projection.[3][4] Compared to recent weeks when confirmation sat either lower or higher, today’s 14 out of 21 reflects a middle-ground alignment: enough series are in agreement to register STAGFLATION MILD, but the structure is not locked-in the way it has been at higher scores. Historically, environments like this have felt uneven across markets, with cross-asset behavior characterized by pressure on long-duration assets and intermittent strength in select cyclicals and real assets — an observation of how prior data behaved, not advice.
What else is the framework tracking today?
Turning to four signals, start with yields. The 30-year Treasury future at 112.72 (-0.69%) pairs with a MOVE reading of 66.79, in a NORMAL zone at roughly the 9.9th percentile on a two-year basis.[3] The momentum label on the rate complex leans neutral-to-soft, quantitatively defined by low-decile rate volatility and modest downside in long-duration prices. In our framework’s reading of comparable periods, this roughly coincided with inflation composites accelerating within quarters where long yields later broke above key bands — an observation under our methodology, not a forecast.[3][4]
What else is the framework tracking today?
Labor and growth proxies show mixed momentum. PAYEMS and ICSA sit in the RED bucket on the engine’s momentum map, reflecting unfavorable shifts in payrolls and claims under the framework’s rate-of-change rules, even as the sector tape shows Technology and Industrials stronger.[3] In our framework’s reading of comparable periods, this roughly coincided with choppy equity performance and persistent factor dispersion over one- to three-month windows, as slowing labor signals met uneven growth — an observation under our methodology, not a forward-looking statement.
What are credit spreads indicating?
Credit spreads, captured via BAMLH0A0HYM2 in the RED bucket, register unfavorable momentum under the engine’s definitions, with stress building rather than easing.[3] Quantitatively, that RED label reflects spread behavior that has moved against risk assets over the lookback the framework tracks. In our framework’s reading of comparable periods, this roughly coincided with tighter financial conditions and more defensive sector leadership within a few months — a historical characterization, not a forecast.
What are interest rates and yields signaling?
Across equity sectors, Technology at 190.52 (+2.76%) and Industrials at 185.23 (+1.35%) show GREEN momentum, defined by persistent upside in price structure, while Healthcare, Utilities, Real Estate, and Long Bonds post declines.[3] In our framework’s reading of comparable periods, this roughly coincided with environments where growth and cyclicals led while defensives and duration proxies lagged over subsequent weeks — an observation under our methodology, not a signal about what anyone should do.
What conditions is the framework watching next?
The conditional map tracks two explicit if-then triggers. If the 10-year yield crosses 4.45% and holds for five consecutive sessions: in our framework’s reading, acceleration in the inflation composite appeared in roughly 9 of 11 comparable conditions — a historical characterization, not a forecast.[3][4] Within a STAGFLATION MILD regime, that sort of move has historically lined up with the Acceleration-style transitions the engine catalogs, purely as a past pattern. If the Fear and Greed Index drops below 15 and holds for five consecutive sessions: in our framework’s reading, deterioration in regime confirmation appeared in roughly 7 of 9 comparable conditions — again a historical characterization, not a forward statement.[3][4] In a stagflationary context, that has historically coincided with more fragile cross-asset agreement in the regime map. The map is live. These conditions are being monitored daily across all 21 series.[3]
How does the Given engine work?
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 all 21 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.[3] When all four layers agree on a symbol, Atlas records it as an upside-aligned or downside-aligned condition under the framework — a reading of how the four layers line up, not a trade. These are time-stamped model readings, logged for members to study. The environment view and the condition log sit side by side inside Atlas. They are separate outputs. The regime does not pick the symbols; the four layers do. 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. MAY, POTENTIAL, and EDUCATIONAL are the right lenses for interpreting these Atlas readings: they describe how the 21 series and 407 symbols have behaved in the past under a fixed rule set, not what must happen.
Where can I follow this every day?
The Morning Brief is the public surface. The live Atlas dashboard shows the full 21-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.
