High-Signal Sentiment Indices
Discover a real-time window into the cultural pulse with our High-Signal Sentiment Indices. Indices automatically aggregate and rank public opinion across a wide range of topics.
What Are Sentiment Indices?
Our sentiment indices aggregate multiple opinion markets into structured tradable benchmarks of public opinion. Each index moves dynamically based on shifts in public sentiment, capturing the rise and fall of narratives across culture, politics, and emerging trends.
By grouping similar signals into relevant indices, markets can provide real-time insight into where sentiment is heading—giving traders, analysts, and culture-watchers an edge.
