Special update: US indices, 7–16 Oct 2026. What the engine saw: On 7 October the news sentiment score for the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and Dow 30 dropped from neutral (50) to about 23 after US stocks fell from record highs as Treasury yields climbed. The score stayed negative for the next nine days as the headlines turned to more Fed rate hikes, a hot US inflation report and a sell-off in chip and AI stocks. Over that period the Nasdaq 100 fell 6.3% and the S&P 500 1.8%, while the Dow rose 1.6% as money rotated out of tech. How the signal positioned: The strategy waits for its combined score and crowd sentiment to confirm before acting. After the inflation report on 14 October the combined score for US indices fell to about 25, and the CNN Fear & Greed index moved from 45 into extreme fear. On 16 October the signal closed its US longs: the Dow 30 at 02:59, the S&P 500 at 15:49 and the Nasdaq 100 at 15:59 (server time). It then opened sells in the S&P 500 at 20:24 and the Nasdaq 100 at 20:33. Results: The US longs, held since the summer, closed at roughly break-even on price. At Friday's close the Nasdaq 100 stood well below the exit level, and the new sells were slightly positive. All trades can be checked in the signal's trading history. What we're watching: Fed rate-hike expectations, whether the rotation out of AI and chip stocks continues, and Middle East risks to oil. The sells stay open only while the scores keep confirming. Trading involves substantial risk. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Weekly update: 30 Sep – 7 Oct 2026 Market: Two stories ran side by side. Softer US data (a cooler PCE inflation print, then a weak jobs report) was read as a reason for the Fed to stop hiking, and US indices set fresh record highs. At the same time, Middle East tensions pushed Brent crude above $100, which weighed on Europe: the FTSE 100 and DAX finished the week lower. What the engine saw: Equity news sentiment climbed in clear steps, each tied to a specific catalyst. The S&P 500 news score rose from 46 to 68, with a broad breakout across Asian and European indices on 5 October. How the signal positioned: All long, in equity indices only. Positions were built in small steps as the scores confirmed, rather than in one large trade, with the busiest activity on 5 October. The small FX book was closed on 30 September. What we're watching: The FOMC minutes and the oil price. European positions need oil to cool for their improved sentiment to turn into price. The strategy adds only while the scores keep confirming. Trading involves substantial risk. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
