The sound of the market
A market’s mood, read through what it plays.
What it is
The music-led mood read: years of daily charts decomposed into tempo, key and origin, and read as a behavioural proxy for how the market feels, separating the domestic layer from imports.
How it's built
Years of daily charts decomposed into tempo, key and home-grown share, then validated against consumer confidence. We read the domestic layer separately from the full chart, because imports dilute the local mood.
What you get
- Whether the domestic mood is brightening or darkening.
- Major-key versus minor, against confidence.
- The home-grown share of the chart: cultural sovereignty.
- The validated mood-money correlations behind it, with their receipts.
From the data
France: the domestic repertoire is brightening, and home-grown music is the largest single bloc of the chart. Defiant, not depressed.
