• {{historical_data}}: Optional historical data on indicators (e.g., "GDP, inflation, unemployment from 2000-2023").
• {{focus}}: Specific aspect to analyze (e.g., "current phase, historical cycles, leading indicators, policy impact").
• {{investment_goals}}: Investment objectives or constraints (e.g., "long-term growth, risk-averse").

Instructions

2. Analyze the provided data or use known economic theories to identify the current phase of the cycle.
