40. Global Market Sector Rotation Monitoring System

Overview

The Global Market Sector Rotation Monitoring System provides real-time monitoring of cross-asset sector strength changes across global markets, including US equity sectors, Hong Kong market segments, China A-share indices, and cryptocurrency sectors. The system automatically detects capital flow shifts between sectors, identifies regime change inflection points, and generates sector rotation signals for dynamic portfolio rebalancing.

Core Capabilities

  • Multi-Asset Sector Monitoring: Real-time tracking of sector performance across global markets
  • Strength Scoring: Quantitative scoring of sector relative strength using risk-adjusted returns
  • Flow Detection: Identification of capital flow shifts between sectors
  • Regime Shift Detection: Capture of sector trend inflection points (bull/bear transitions)
  • Rotation Signal Generation: Automated generation of sector rotation trading signals
  • Visual Analytics: Interactive dashboards for sector strength heatmaps and rotation visualization

Core Components

1. Sector Data Aggregator

Collects real-time sector index data from multiple sources:

class SectorDataAggregator:
    def fetch_sector_data(self):
        return {
            # US Equity Sectors
            "US_Tech": fetch_sp500_tech(),
            "US_Finance": fetch_sp500_finance(),
            "US_Healthcare": fetch_sp500_healthcare(),
            "US_Consumer": fetch_sp500_consumer(),

            # Hong Kong Market Sectors
            "HK_Internet": fetch_hang_seng_tech(),
            "HK_Property": fetch_hang_seng_property(),
            "HK_Energy": fetch_hang_seng_energy(),

            # China A-Share Indices
            "A_CSI300": fetch_csi300(),
            "A_CYB50": fetch_china_cyb50(),
            "A_SSE50": fetch_sse50(),

            # Cryptocurrency Sectors
            "Crypto_Layer1": fetch_layer1_index(),
            "Crypto_DeFi": fetch_defi_index(),
            "Crypto_NFT": fetch_nft_index()
        }

2. Sector Strength Scorer

Calculates quantitative strength scores for each sector:

import numpy as np

class SectorStrengthScorer:
    def score_sectors(self, sector_prices):
        scores = {}
        for sector, prices in sector_prices.items():
            returns = np.diff(np.log(prices))
            # Sharpe-like score: mean return / volatility
            score = np.mean(returns) / np.std(returns)
            scores[sector] = score
        return scores

    def rank_sectors(self, scores):
        return sorted(scores.items(), key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)

3. Flow Detector

Identifies capital flow shifts between sectors:

class FlowDetector:
    def detect_flow_shift(self, current_scores, previous_scores):
        flows = {}
        for sector in current_scores:
            flows[sector] = current_scores[sector] - previous_scores.get(sector, 0)
        return flows

    def identify_flow_leaders(self, flows, threshold=0.1):
        return {sector: flow for sector, flow in flows.items() 
                if abs(flow) > threshold}

4. Regime Shift Detector

Captures sector trend inflection points:

class RegimeShiftDetector:
    def detect_regime_shift(self, sector_scores_history):
        shifts = {}
        for sector, score_series in sector_scores_history.items():
            if len(score_series) < 2:
                continue

            current_score = score_series[-1]
            previous_score = score_series[-2]

            if current_score > 0 and previous_score < 0:
                shifts[sector] = "Bear → Bull"
            elif current_score < 0 and previous_score > 0:
                shifts[sector] = "Bull → Bear"
        return shifts

5. Rotation Signal Generator

Generates sector rotation trading signals:

class RotationSignalGenerator:
    def generate_rotation_signals(self, flow_shifts, regime_shifts, 
                                current_rankings):
        signals = []

        for sector, shift in regime_shifts.items():
            flow = flow_shifts.get(sector, 0)

            if flow > 0 and shift == "Bear → Bull":
                signals.append({
                    "sector": sector,
                    "action": "BUY",
                    "confidence": min(abs(flow), 1.0),
                    "reason": "Regime shift to bullish with positive flow"
                })
            elif flow < 0 and shift == "Bull → Bear":
                signals.append({
                    "sector": sector,
                    "action": "SELL",
                    "confidence": min(abs(flow), 1.0),
                    "reason": "Regime shift to bearish with negative flow"
                })

        return signals
