Eco3min Proprietary Macro & Financial Indices
Eco3min Macroeconomic Indices: Economic Barometer and Cycle Analysis
Eco3min indices are proprietary macroeconomic and financial barometers designed to provide a fast, concise, and actionable reading of the global economic environment.
They do not predict the future: they measure ongoing dynamics, emerging tensions, and structural asymmetries.
Definition: Eco3min indices are synthetic macro-financial indicators that measure economic momentum, the level of systemic stress, and the risk/opportunity asymmetry to identify the market regime and inform allocation decisions.
Why proprietary indices?
→ To understand this logic: reading economic and financial cycles
Economic information is abundant but fragmented.
Eco3min indices aim to condense thousands of macroeconomic, financial, and geopolitical signals into a small set of readable indicators, updated regularly.
They are intended for investors, executives, analysts, and informed individuals seeking to understand where we stand in the cycle,
the level of risk, and whether opportunities are favorable.
- EMM: measures the dynamics of the economic cycle
- ESS: measures the level of global financial stress
- EAO: measures the opportunity / risk ratio
The three Eco3min indices
→ Key signal example: historical yield curve inversions
Eco3min Macro Momentum Index (EMM)
The Macro Momentum Index measures short- to medium-term global economic dynamics (3–6 months).
It captures the acceleration or slowdown of the world economy.
- Macroeconomic surprises (growth, inflation, activity)
- Effective stance of monetary policy
- Divergences across major economic regions
- Leading cycle indicators
Application example: equity momentum strategy
Scale: 0 to 100
Low score = contraction / High score = expansion
Eco3min Systemic Stress Index (ESS)
The Systemic Stress Index assesses the level of strain within the global financial system.
Its objective is to detect vulnerabilities before they become visible to the broader public.
- Financial market volatility
- Credit and liquidity tensions
- Geopolitical risk and disruptive events
- Flows into safe-haven assets
See also: net liquidity (Fed, TGA, RRP)
Complementary analysis: US dollar and global financial crises
Scale: 0 to 100
Low score = stability / High score = elevated systemic risk
Eco3min Opportunity / Risk Asymmetry Index (EAO)
The Opportunity/Risk Asymmetry Index measures whether the balance between upside potential and downside risk is favorable in the current environment.
- Valuations relative to economic dynamics
- Market momentum
- Degree of consensus or excess positioning
- Imbalance between risks and opportunities
Scale: 0 to 100
High score = favorable asymmetric opportunity
Methodology & updates
Current reading: macroeconomic barometer
Eco3min indices are built through the aggregation of economic, financial, and informational data sourced from publicly available datasets and analyzed using artificial intelligence tools. Exact weightings and algorithms remain proprietary. Each index is updated weekly to prioritize readability and stability over short-term noise.

How to use these indices
- Identify the macro regime (expansion, slowdown, stress)
- Assess the overall risk level (low, moderate, high)
- Adjust exposure to assets (equities, bonds, cash)
- As a macroeconomic dashboard
- To contextualize economic and financial news
- To inform strategic or investment decisions
- To monitor the evolution of global risk over time
Practical application: adjusting exposure according to the cycle

Eco3min indices are analytical and informational tools. They do not constitute investment advice, personalized recommendations, or financial guidance. Any financial decision should be made with consideration of the reader’s individual circumstances.
Construction, methodology, and limitations of Eco3min indices
Simplified reading:
A high momentum score indicates an expanding economy,
a high stress score signals increased financial risk,
and a high asymmetry score indicates a favorable environment for risk-taking.
Eco3min indices are synthetic macroeconomic indicators designed to provide a structured reading of economic, financial, and monetary dynamics at a given point in time. They are developed through the aggregation of public macroeconomic data (economic statistics, leading indicators, aggregated market data) combined with proprietary analytical processing.
Score calculations rely on proprietary weighting rules and algorithmic processing supported by automated tools. These tools enhance analytical consistency and synthesis without replacing human editorial judgment.
Eco3min indices are intended to provide a global macroeconomic framework. They are not market performance indicators, timing tools, or deterministic forecasting systems. Their evolution reflects an analytical assessment that may change as new economic, financial, or geopolitical information becomes available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Eco3min indices predict the markets?
No. They measure macroeconomic and financial conditions, but they do not precisely predict market movements.
What are these indices used for by an investor?
They help identify the economic cycle, assess global risk, and adjust exposure to different asset classes.
What is the difference between the three indices?
Momentum measures economic dynamics, stress measures financial fragility, and asymmetry measures the ratio between risk and opportunity.
