A quiet, firm year turned decisively bullish late when Iranian strikes gutted the world's second-largest exporter and OPEC voted a 14.5% hike; owners could see the second oil shock and a natural-gas decontrol windfall arriving.
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).
