Spot macro inflection turning points ahead of market moves

Top macro funds rely on CEIC’s 500,000+ high-frequency and nowcasting datasets to identify inflection points in economic growth, inflation, and employment before they hit the headlines.

In emerging markets where official data is published with even greater lags, our structured, granular, locally sourced data empowers investors to act early and rotate confidently across equities, credit, rates, and FX.

Why top investors choose CEIC:

• Get ahead of the cycle with signals flashing weeks before official prints

Track the economy in real time with daily and weekly indicators on credit-card spending, mobility, port traffic, business sentiment, and job postings. These data series consistently surface macro turning points before the CPI report or central bank guidance catch up.

• Nowcast with confidence, from GDP to inflation to employment

Our proprietary nowcasting models, built with cutting-edge machine learning, provide weekly updates across the most relevant DM and EM economies. Power tactical allocation and multi-asset positioning with high- precision macro signals that give you a first-mover advantage.

• Time cross-market rotations with precision

Compare momentum and divergence across developed and emerging markets. CEIC gives you insights on when to shift FX, rate, and equity exposures based on early indicators of regional inflection ahead of lagging headlines.

• Leverage alternative data that’s built from the ground up

Get beyond stale feeds scraped from public sources. CEIC’s 500K+ alternative data series are sourced from customs agencies, industry bodies, regulators, and local partners—often capturing shifts that traditional data misses entirely, especially in opaque emerging markets.
