Global Sentiment In Action

Global Sentiment continually analyzes sentiment data for trade opportunities. In this example, UPS announced a $20 billion overhaul focused on automation and business to business shipments instead of consumer “last mile” shipments. Investors did not react well to this news and the Global Sentiment model predicted a near term pullback.

The Global Sentiment model analyzed news, social media reactions, as well as technical price data to conclude in the near term UPS was most likely to decline. As shown this prediction was correct. UPS continued to decline until reaching a near term low shortly after earnings announcement in late October 2018.
