Burns' reflation cut the prime to 5.25% and Nixon's August wage-price freeze capped input costs while boosting confidence; Nifty-Fifty consumer names (Coke, McDonald's, Disney) began a euphoric re-rating.
How this mood is scored · reconstructed read ▾
Each day the model reads that day's news for the sector and asks, as someone who owns assets or
makes their living in it: how am I feeling this month, and why?
The month's mood is that running answer, tied to the specific events driving it (the story shown
above). It leans on trusted, higher-impact reporting, and on the prior month when a month is
quiet, so one loud headline can't swing it. The read updates daily through
the month; once a month ends, its mood is locked.
This year predates live news collection, so it is a reconstructed read of the historical record. The mood and the events behind it are real.
