The Peak & Valley Probability Index
We love leading indicators, and we know you love them too. Starting today the Daily Brief will carry our indicators Wednesdays (Peak and Valley), Thursdays (RLI) and Fridays (TLI)!
Today we introduce our Peak & Valley Probability Index. The index is a probabilistic gauge of how close we are to a peak or trough in the broad market.
