A Persona-based Rate Action Index
Quick summary
arXiv:2607.26545v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose an index for predicting the U.S.\ Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decision to hike/hold/cut the current federal funds target rate based on how a collection of personas responds to current market conditions. To construct the index, we collected a new dataset consisting of nearly $25{,}000$ retrievable chunks from publicly available data. We partition the data into per-member corpora and use each as the retrieval database of a generative system we refer to throughout as a ``persona''. We first evaluate the personas across two comp
