The Fed's January cut and Ford's March tax rebate revived spending and auto sales off the recession trough, though W.T. Grant's autumn collapse, the biggest US retail failure ever, marked the lingering carnage.
How this mood is scored ▾
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 is read live from the news the pipeline actually collected (hover a bar for its story count).
