Why This Book Matters
Markets rarely wait for certainty. Interest-rate expectations can move, yield curves can change shape, credit can begin behaving differently and liquidity conditions can shift while the prevailing economic story still appears convincing.
Before the Market Knows is about recognizing that transition without pretending to predict the future. It focuses on how several parts of the financial system can be read together, why divergences matter and what it means when familiar market relationships begin to weaken or break.
BondStats Publication
Published by BondStats Ltd., Before the Market Knows explores how rates, yield curves, credit, liquidity and broader market behaviour can reveal financial change while the evidence is still incomplete. Rather than treating a single indicator as a forecast, the book follows how pressure can travel through the system and how independent signals can confirm or contradict one another.
At the centre are the Signal Cascade and the FIRST Protocol — practical frameworks for tracing where a change begins, identifying its source, requiring confirmation, separating signal from noise and following the transition as new evidence arrives.
