Index read to

The index has no read for this window: it needs at least three published days on each side of the post, between 2026-09-18 and 2026-10-02, and the composite has fewer. A post from the last week reads once the days publish.

How to read the number

The read compares the market index's median over the seven UTC days after the post with the seven days before it, the post's own day left out, and needs at least three published days on each side. The same measure taken on every day of the series is the drift a typical week shows; a read inside that drift is the market doing what it was doing. Neither is proof the post moved anything. The composite is on the market report, every basket under the indexes, and every update is on one list.
