The Fed's four hikes lifted mortgage rates toward 5%, the highest since 2011, sharply cooling housing in the second half as sales dropped and homebuilders sold off hard; a positive start turned negative.
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.
