Real budgets were now declining under deficit constraints, and the December INF Treaty, the first arms-reduction pact, signaled a thaw and program cuts ahead.
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).

U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev signed the landmark INF Treaty, committing to eliminate all intermediate-range nuclear missiles, marking the first time an entire class of nuclear weapons was scrapped. The pact, requiring reciprocal on-site inspections, could reduce over 2,000 missiles and shift Cold War dynamics, with potential implications for defense spending and geopolitical stability as Senate ratification looms.
