# Macro Sector & Country Analysis

Comprehensive macro analysis at sector and country level using Bigdata.com MCP tools. Use when users ask for sector overviews, sector comparisons, country economic profiles, regional analysis, G7/G20 comparisons, economic calendar analysis, thematic macro research (AI, energy transition, inflation, deglobalization), sector rotation signals, or cross-asset implications. Triggers include questions about sector performance/valuations/outlook, country GDP/inflation/rates/policy, economic data releases, central bank decisions, regional allocations, or macro investment themes. Also use for morning market briefings, weekly macro outlooks, or any request combining sector and economic analysis.

## Workflow Selection

| User Request | Workflow |
|--------------|----------|
| "Analyze [sector] sector" | [sector-analysis.md](./sector-analysis.md) |
| "Economic outlook for [country]" | [country-analysis.md](./country-analysis.md) |
| **"Macro analysis of [sector] in [country]"** | **[country-sector-analysis.md](./country-sector-analysis.md)** |
| "Compare sectors" / "Sector rotation" | [cross-sector.md](./cross-sector.md) |
| "[Theme] investment implications" | [thematic-research.md](./thematic-research.md) |
| "Compare US vs Europe vs Asia" | [regional-comparison.md](./regional-comparison.md) |

### Country-Sector Analysis Triggers
Use `country-sector-analysis.md` when request combines **BOTH** a sector AND a country/region:
- "Macro analysis of Technology investment in the USA" ✅
- "European financials outlook" ✅
- "India consumer sector analysis" ✅
- "China EV sector" ✅

## Critical Requirements

### Source Attribution (MANDATORY)
1. **Inline citations**: Use [1], [2], etc. after claims from sources
2. **Sources table**: End every report with numbered source list (Source, Date, URL)
3. **Footer**: End with "Powered by Bigdata.com - https://bigdata.com"

### Company Identification
Call `find_companies` first when analyzing specific companies. If ambiguous:
> "I found multiple companies named [X]. Did you mean [Company A] in [Industry] or [Company B]?"

### Search Best Practices
- Use 5-10 targeted searches per workflow for comprehensive coverage
- Include temporal context: "last 30 days", "2026 outlook"
- Combine company name with topic in queries
- For economic data, search for specific indicators (GDP, CPI, rates) separately
