Domestic procurement bottomed in the détente trough, but petrodollar-fueled foreign military sales cushioned the book, headlined by Iran's June order of 80 F-14 Tomcats that effectively rescued Grumman; Nixon's resignation was a wash for the sector.
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.
