Is macro forecasting the same as investing?
No. These are educational event markets, not portfolio allocation calls.
Theme
Macro policy forecasting portfolio
A book of macro policy markets, budgets, central banks, tariffs, where the calendar is public and the surprises are not.

The short version
This theme organizes markets around budget deadlines, central bank decisions, inflation and trade policy, and fiscal negotiations. Macro policy ripples across every other theme, so reading it well is leverage. The recurring trade is deadline brinkmanship, markets that swing hard as a hard deadline turns out to be negotiable.
Why it matters
Policy outcomes move narratives across crypto, climate, tech, and rates at once. A macro policy book gives you a disciplined way to connect the mechanics, who decides, by when, under what rules, to the probability, instead of trading the cable-news version.
What is in this portfolio
