THE READ

Possible drivers: ICON PLC (+15.59%) and Kymera Therapeutics (+10.61%) put life-science names on the weekly leaderboard for a second straight week, following last week’s leader, Charles River Laboratories. Halozyme Therapeutics tops the YTD board for a second straight week, extending its lead to +85.84%. Marathon Petroleum’s -6.35% weekly drop came as Brent crude fell back from last week’s high, even as oil and chemical names like LyondellBasell, Tenaris, and CF Industries still hold the YoY leaderboard.

What it could mean: Refiners reacting to cooling crude, while energy-linked industrial and chemical names keep their longer-term leadership, suggests the oil trend is still intact over a year even if this week’s move was a pause. Zoetis is back at the bottom of the YTD board at -34.88%, a modest improvement from the -40.11% it showed when it last led the laggards three weeks ago, but still the weakest performer in this bracket.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include change in customer demand or preferences, reputation or brand decline and impairment, and adverse capital markets access.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Biotech shows up on both sides of the small-cap board again: Replimune (+40.14%) leads the week, while Bicara Therapeutics (-42.82%) and Artiva Biotherapeutics (-31.33%) lead the laggards. Suja Life has now sat at the bottom of both the YTD and YoY boards in every report since mid-September, and BOXABL’s YTD loss has deepened to -82.46%, up from -77.79% three weeks ago.

What it could mean: Biotech on both ends of the board points to wide dispersion between individual names rather than a sector-wide move in either direction. BOXABL’s steady slide over several weeks looks like a compounding decline rather than a one-off, similar to what we’ve been tracking in Suja Life.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggard industries include competition intensity & availability of substitutes, change in customer demand or preferences, and adverse capital markets access.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Refining & Smelting is still the top weekly performer (+29.88%), its fourth straight week in that spot, and it still leads the YoY board (+83.89%). It dropped out of the YTD top three this week, though, with Admin & Legal taking the top YTD spot (+63.94%). Space Logistics swung from -13.16% two weeks ago to +11.32% this week. Recycling now sits at the bottom of both the YTD and YoY boards for a third straight report.

What it could mean: Refining & Smelting’s weekly gain has eased from its mid-October peak (+37.92%) as crude cooled, a sign the energy-linked momentum may be flattening even though the year-long lead is intact. Recycling’s persistent position at the bottom of both longer windows, report after report, remains one of the most consistent weak signals in the data.

04 · INDICATORS

Where the Big Levels Sit

Positions vs. a 5-year moving average. Level reflects standard deviations from the mean.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Brent fell 3.76% to $112.33, dropping back from Very High to High after last week’s break above $116. Gold slid another 3.07% to $3,884.90, the lowest level in the weeks we’ve been tracking, and Bitcoin fell 4.78% for a fourth straight weekly decline. The US 10-year yield eased to 4.93%, its fourth consecutive pullback, yet the S&P 500 slipped again (-0.57%), its third straight weekly decline. The Hang Seng bounced +0.87% after last week’s -4.52% drop.

What it could mean: Yields easing for four straight weeks usually helps equities and gold, but neither is responding this week: stocks keep drifting lower and gold is at its weakest level in this series. With oil, precious metals, and crypto all falling together, the move looks like a broad pullback rather than a rotation from one asset into another. Whether equities stabilize now that yields have come back under 5% is the question for next week.

• Turkey 10Y · High — +8.65%

• Lean Hogs · Very Low — -8.77%
• Platinum · High — -7.64%
• Oat · Average — -7.53%
• Heating Oil · Very High — -6.60%

THE READ

Possible drivers: Silver’s -8.92% drop is the largest loss on the board, and it has now appeared among the weekly losers in four of the last five reports, falling from 60.78 to 49.14 over that stretch. Platinum (-7.64%) fell alongside it, and gold’s own decline (-3.07%) means all three major precious metals lost ground this week. Heating Oil fell 6.60% but remains at a Very High level, while Natural Gas rebounded +9.20% from a Low level. Brazil’s 10-year yield jumped 18.67% after falling 12.16% three weeks ago.

What it could mean: Silver, platinum, and gold falling together points to a broad move across precious metals rather than a gold-specific story, and silver’s slide has now run for most of a month. Heating Oil staying at a Very High level even after this week’s drop shows how elevated energy prices remain despite Brent’s pullback. Brazil’s 10-year yield swinging sharply in both directions over three weeks is a volatile series worth watching.

• Xylem Inc — -24.44%

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include competition intensity & availability of substitutes, change in customer demand or preferences, and macroeconomic decline or recession.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Charles River Laboratories led the week by a wide margin (+15.98%), with Okta and Nasdaq also posting double-digit gains — a mix with no obvious shared sector theme. Charter Communications’ YTD loss deepened further to -49.10% (from -47.37% two weeks ago), extending its multi-week slide at the top of the YTD laggard board. Halozyme Therapeutics holds the top YTD spot for a third straight week, now at +78.41%.

What it could mean: Charter’s steady, continuing YTD decline over several consecutive weeks is one of the more persistent single-company trends we’ve tracked this quarter. Halozyme’s repeated presence atop the YTD board, growing each week, is one of the more durable leadership stories in this bracket right now.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include competition intensity & availability of substitutes, macroeconomic decline or recession, and negative profit margin.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Braze’s +55.69% weekly gain is the largest single-week move we’ve tracked in this bracket in recent weeks. Day One Biopharmaceuticals holds the top YTD spot for a fourth straight week running, unchanged at +144.84%. Suja Life appears on the weekly, YTD, and YoY laggard lists simultaneously, a full sweep across all three windows.

What it could mean: Day One Biopharmaceuticals’ flat, unchanged YTD figure across multiple weeks is worth a quick sanity check against the source data, since a static reading over several weeks is unusual even for a stable leader. Suja Life’s sweep across all three windows, combined with its near-total YTD and YoY loss, suggests its decline has been sustained and severe rather than a recent development.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggard industries include competition intensity & availability of substitutes, macroeconomic decline or recession, and reputation or brand decline and impairment.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Refining & Smelting now leads all three windows for a third consecutive week, and its weekly gain accelerated again to +36.58% (from +32.21% the week before), tracking directly with Brent crude’s climb to $116.63. Recycling and Children both continue sweeping the YTD and YoY laggard boards for another week running.

What it could mean: Refining & Smelting’s third straight week of acceleration across every window is now one of the clearest, most sustained trends in this entire dataset, moving in lockstep with crude’s own climb into Very High territory. Recycling and Children’s continued dominance of the YTD and YoY laggard lists, week after week, points to entrenched rather than temporary weakness in both.

04 · INDICATORS

Where the Big Levels Sit

Positions vs. a 5-year moving average. Level reflects standard deviations from the mean.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Crude Oil (Brent) jumped 6.16% to $116.63 this week, pushing it from High into Very High territory for the first time in the weeks we’ve tracked. Hang Seng fell sharply (-4.52%), its steepest weekly decline recently, while Gold also dropped 4.09%. The US 10-year Treasury yield eased further (-1.65%) to 5.00%, its third straight weekly pullback, and the S&P 500 slipped modestly (-0.47%).

What it could mean: Oil’s move into Very High territory, alongside Hang Seng’s sharp drop and gold’s decline, suggests markets may be pricing in inflationary pressure from energy costs rather than a broader flight to safety — gold typically rises, not falls, during risk-off moves. Yields continuing to ease for a third straight week, even as oil surges, is a combination worth watching closely for how long it holds.

• Wheat · Average — -5.37%

THE READ

Possible drivers: Switzerland 10Y posted another sizable move (-8.25%), continuing the volatility in that series we’ve flagged in recent weeks, though smaller in magnitude than its prior swings. Crude Oil (Brent) appears again among the week’s biggest gainers, confirming its move into Very High territory wasn’t a brief spike. Silver fell 5.84%, its third decline in four weeks, moving alongside gold’s own drop this week.

What it could mean: Silver’s repeated declines across most of the past month, now falling in step with gold again this week, suggests the precious metals pullback we flagged earlier has resumed after a brief rebound. Switzerland 10Y’s continued, if smaller, volatility keeps it worth watching as a possible data quality issue rather than a genuine signal.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include change in customer demand or preferences, competition intensity & availability of substitutes, and macroeconomic decline or recession.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Cognizant led the week by a wide margin (+10.20%), with no obvious shared theme alongside Ball Corporation and Haleon. Summit Therapeutics swings from a weekly leader two weeks ago to a weekly laggard this week (-13.99%), a notable reversal. Three tech and communications names — TTM Technologies, Akamai, Ferrovial-adjacent EchoStar — all show up weak across the 1-week and YTD lists.

What it could mean: Summit Therapeutics’ round trip from leader to laggard in a short span is a reminder of how volatile individual biotech names can be week to week. Zoetis’ continued presence at the top of the YoY laggard board, now spanning several weeks, keeps pointing to animal health as a durable weak spot this cycle.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include competition intensity & availability of substitutes, macroeconomic decline or recession, and reputation or brand decline and impairment.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Liquidia Technologies swings back to a weekly leader (+23.96%) just one week after posting the steepest weekly loss in this bracket (-58.92% two weeks ago) — an unusually sharp round trip. FMC Corporation’s -32.37% weekly drop is this week’s largest single move in the bracket. Verra Mobility and Suja Life remain repeat laggards across both YTD and YoY windows for yet another week.

What it could mean: Liquidia’s swing from the worst weekly mover to a weekly leader within two weeks suggests elevated volatility in that name specifically rather than a sector trend. Verra Mobility’s now-persistent presence on the laggard board, spanning many weeks of our data, looks like a sustained decline rather than noise.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggard industries include adverse capital markets access, reputation or brand decline and impairment, and macroeconomic decline or recession.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Refining & Smelting holds the top spot across all three windows for a second straight week, and its weekly gain accelerated to +32.21% (from already-strong momentum last week), alongside Brent crude’s jump to $109.69. Recycling now leads the weekly, YTD, and YoY laggard lists simultaneously, a rare sweep across all three windows.

What it could mean: Refining & Smelting’s continued acceleration, now two strong weeks running, lines up directly with crude’s renewed climb and looks like a genuine multi-week trend rather than a one-off. Recycling sweeping all three laggard boards at once is one of the cleanest, most consistent weak signals we’ve seen in this dataset — worth watching closely for what’s driving it.

04 · INDICATORS

Where the Big Levels Sit

Positions vs. a 5-year moving average. Level reflects standard deviations from the mean.

THE READ

Possible drivers: The US 10-year Treasury yield fell again this week (-2.90%) to 5.08%, its second straight pullback after five weeks of gains. The S&P 500 dropped 1.95% to $7,659.44, its sharpest weekly decline in recent weeks, even as yields eased. Crude Oil (Brent) jumped 4.75% to $109.69, a fresh high for the period we’ve been tracking. Gold, Bitcoin, and the dollar all posted modest declines.

What it could mean: Stocks falling even as yields drop breaks from the pattern we’d been tracking, where lower yields typically supported equities — this week’s S&P weakness looks more connected to oil’s sharp climb than to rates. Crude’s acceleration to a fresh high, alongside Refining & Smelting’s continued industry strength above, is the clearest and most consistent theme in this week’s data.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Both crude oil benchmarks posted strong gains this week — WTI (+10.88%) and Brent (+4.75%) — with WTI’s move the larger of the two. Coffee rose for a second straight week (+6.48%, following last week’s +4.36%). Silver fell 6.40% after rebounding briefly two weeks ago, resuming its earlier slide alongside gold’s own modest decline.

What it could mean: WTI’s double-digit weekly gain, outpacing Brent for the first time in recent weeks we’ve tracked, suggests the oil rally is broadening across benchmarks rather than being Brent-specific. Coffee’s second consecutive weekly gain, after five straight losses before that, may mark an early turn worth watching for confirmation next week.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include supply chain disruptions, intellectual property protection risks, and competition intensity & availability of substitutes.

THE READ

Possible drivers: CoStar Group jumps back onto the weekly leaderboard (+7.77%) after sitting among the worst YoY laggards for several straight weeks — a notable reversal. Ciena led the week by a wide margin (+14.57%). On the laggard side, three defense and aerospace-adjacent names (Curtiss-Wright, Moog, FormFactor) cluster together on the weekly list.

What it could mean: CoStar’s jump back to a weekly leader, after being a repeat YoY laggard in prior weeks, is worth watching for whether it marks a turning point or just a one-week bounce. The aerospace/defense names showing up together as weekly laggards is a cluster worth tracking for a possible sector-level pullback rather than isolated moves.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include competition intensity & availability of substitutes, change in customer demand or preferences, and return on invested capital contraction.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Rackspace Technology continues its extended run at the top of the YTD board, now at +301.08%, among the largest YTD gains we’ve tracked in this bracket all year. ArriVent BioPharma’s -40.25% weekly drop is the steepest single-week move in this bracket this week by a wide margin. BOXABL moves onto the YTD laggard list (-77.79%) after appearing on the weekly laggard board last week.

What it could mean: BOXABL’s slide from a weekly laggard to a YTD laggard in consecutive weeks suggests its decline is compounding rather than a one-off. Verra Mobility and Suja Life remain repeat laggards across both YTD and YoY windows for yet another week, now a well-established multi-week pattern.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggard industries include adverse capital markets access, reputation or brand decline and impairment, and macroeconomic decline or recession.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Refining & Smelting posted a sharp +37.92% weekly gain, by far the largest 1-week industry move this week, while also holding the top YoY spot (+85.43%). Computer Hardware overtakes Data Management for the top YTD spot (+68.77% vs +54.67%). Children’s YTD loss eased slightly to -27.65% from -28.00% last week, though it remains a laggard across all three windows.

What it could mean: Refining & Smelting’s outsized weekly jump, alongside Brent crude’s rise to $104.43 this week, points to renewed energy-sector momentum after a few weeks of cooling. Children’s slight YTD improvement is worth watching for whether the multi-week decline is finally leveling off, though it’s too early to call a turn.

04 · INDICATORS

Where the Big Levels Sit

Positions vs. a 5-year moving average. Level reflects standard deviations from the mean.

THE READ

Possible drivers: The US 10-year Treasury yield eased slightly this week (-0.87%) to 5.24%, its first pullback after five straight weekly gains. The S&P 500 rose 1.15% to a fresh level of $7,811.54, and Hang Seng gained 1.00%. Gold rebounded 1.39% after two straight weekly declines, while Bitcoin fell 2.31%, its first weekly drop after three consecutive gains.

What it could mean: Yields finally cooling after five weeks straight coincides with gold’s rebound and equities pushing higher, consistent with the rates-pressure pattern we’ve tracked over recent weeks working in reverse. Bitcoin’s pullback, right as gold recovers, continues the divergence between the two assets rather than resolving it.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Switzerland 10Y swung +6.27% this week, a third consecutive wild move in that series after last week’s -19.08% and the week before’s +16.71% — a pattern worth flagging as a possible data quirk rather than a market signal. Brazil 10Y posted the week’s sharpest single move at -12.16%. Ethereum fell 6.84%, moving opposite to Bitcoin’s own decline this week, an unusual split between the two largest cryptocurrencies.

What it could mean: Switzerland 10Y’s third straight outsized swing strengthens the case that this is a data or reporting artifact rather than a genuine market move, and it’s worth checking against the source before citing it as a trend. ETH and BTC both falling this week, despite usually moving together, suggests the crypto pullback is broad-based rather than Bitcoin-specific.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include regulatory actions or policy changes, adverse capital markets access, and competition intensity & availability of substitutes.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Synopsys led the week by a wide margin (+17.46%), well ahead of Summit Therapeutics and Itau Unibanco. Charter Communications’ YTD loss deepened sharply (-47.37%, from -39.17% last week), making it the worst YTD performer in this bracket for a second straight week. Boston Scientific remains the worst YoY performer for another week running.

What it could mean: Charter Communications’ accelerating YTD decline, now down nearly 8 points in a single week, is one of the sharper single-company moves we’ve tracked recently and worth watching closely. Boston Scientific’s continued presence at the top of the YoY laggard board, now a multi-week pattern, keeps pointing to medical devices as a durable weak spot this cycle.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include competition intensity & availability of substitutes, change in customer demand or preferences, and macroeconomic decline or recession.

THE READ

Possible drivers: ServiceTitan returns to the weekly leaderboard (+13.33%) after appearing as a 1-week leader five weeks ago. Liquidia Technologies’ sharp weekly drop (-58.92%) is the single largest 1-week decline we’ve tracked in this bracket recently. Verra Mobility and Suja Life remain repeat laggards across both YTD and YoY windows for yet another week.

What it could mean: Verra Mobility’s now-persistent presence on the laggard board, spanning several weeks of our data, looks like a sustained decline rather than noise. Liquidia’s outsized single-week loss is worth flagging as an outlier given nothing else in this week’s data moved anywhere near that magnitude.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggard industries include adverse capital markets access, reputation or brand decline and impairment, and macroeconomic decline or recession.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Data Management holds the top YTD spot for a second straight week (+65.63%), while Refining & Smelting continues cooling on both the YTD board (+53.41%, down from +57.73%) and the YoY board (+87.14%, down from +104.58%) — though it still leads YoY. Children remains a laggard across all three windows for yet another week, and now posts its worst YoY reading yet (-46.05%).

What it could mean: Refining & Smelting’s third straight week of easing YTD and YoY gains suggests the energy-linked rally that drove much of September is losing steam, even as Brent itself only eased modestly this week. Children’s deepening YoY loss, alongside its continued presence on the YTD and 1-week laggard lists, is one of the more consistent multi-week patterns in this dataset.

04 · INDICATORS

Where the Big Levels Sit

Positions vs. a 5-year moving average. Level reflects standard deviations from the mean.

THE READ

Possible drivers: The US 10-year Treasury yield rose again this week (+2.28%) to 5.28%, its fifth consecutive weekly gain. Gold fell 3.45% to $4,172.10, its second straight weekly decline after also dropping last week, while the S&P 500 (-0.27%) and Hang Seng (-2.19%) both pulled back. Bitcoin posted a modest gain (+0.55%), its third straight weekly rise, and the dollar firmed slightly (+0.94%).

What it could mean: Gold’s back-to-back weekly declines alongside a steadily climbing 10-year yield fit a clear pattern: rising real rates are pressuring the metal that typically benefits when rates fall. Bitcoin’s third consecutive weekly gain, even as gold continues to slide, is the clearest divergence between the two assets we’ve tracked yet. Equities holding up relatively well despite five straight weeks of rising yields remains the bigger open question.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Switzerland’s 10-year yield swung -19.08% this week, the largest single-week move across any indicator in recent memory, following a +16.71% gain just last week — a sharp reversal in the same series. Coffee bounced back +4.36% after five straight weekly declines. Silver fell 6.20%, moving in the same direction as gold this week, while Palladium also dropped sharply (-7.18%).

What it could mean: Switzerland 10Y’s whipsaw move (+16.71% last week, -19.08% this week) is large enough to be an outlier worth double-checking against the source data rather than reading as a market signal. Silver and Gold both falling together this week, alongside Palladium’s drop, points to a broader pullback across precious and industrial metals rather than a gold-specific story.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include high leverage, change in customer demand or preferences, and macroeconomic decline or recession.

THE READ

Possible drivers: The weekly leaderboard is a mix of consumer, semiconductor, and software names — On Holding (+10.40%), Lattice Semiconductor (+9.86%), and Datadog (+9.38%) — with no single-sector story behind it. NetApp’s YTD lead (+90.73%) is the largest YTD gain we’ve seen at the top of this bracket in recent weeks. Two steelmakers also stand out: Ternium on the YTD board and ArcelorMittal on the YoY board.

What it could mean: Steel and energy names (ArcelorMittal, Ternium, APA) sitting on the leaderboards lines up with the materials and Refining & Smelting strength showing up in the industry data below. Software isn’t moving as one block either: Datadog led the week while GoDaddy lagged, and Intuit sits on the YoY laggard board, so this looks more like stock-by-stock dispersion than a sector-wide move.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include adverse capital markets access, regulatory actions or policy changes, and change in customer demand or preferences.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Healthcare and life-science names take all three weekly leader spots (GRAIL, Alpha Teknova, Butterfly Network), while the weekly laggard list is also biotech-heavy (Compass Therapeutics, Apnimed). Compass Therapeutics’ -38.42% week was large enough to push it to second-worst on the YTD board (-78.63%). Erasca’s +688.68% YoY gain is the largest we’ve seen in this bracket in recent weeks, and MaxLinear tops the YTD board at +402.03%.

What it could mean: Healthcare showing up at both ends of the small-cap board points to wide dispersion rather than a sector trend — outcomes for individual names are diverging sharply. Verra Mobility and Suja Life remain repeat laggards across both YTD and YoY windows, which looks like a sustained decline rather than a one-week move.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggard industries include competition intensity & availability of substitutes, adverse capital markets access, and macroeconomic decline or recession.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Data Management takes over the top YTD spot (+67.46%), while Refining & Smelting slips to third on the YTD board (+57.73%, down from +63.44% last week) and eases on the YoY board (+104.58%, down from +111.99%) — though it still holds the top YoY spot. Children appears on this week’s leaderboard (+5.10%) despite remaining a laggard on both the YTD and YoY boards. Recycling leads the weekly laggards and the YoY laggards at once.

What it could mean: Refining & Smelting’s cooling comes in a week when heating oil and gasoline both fell by roughly 9% (see the movers below), which may be related. Children’s weekly gain against a deeply negative YTD and YoY backdrop is a divergence worth watching for follow-through, while Recycling’s weakness across both the weekly and YoY windows is one of the more consistent signals in this week’s data.

04 · INDICATORS

Where the Big Levels Sit

Positions vs. a 5-year moving average. Level reflects standard deviations from the mean.

THE READ

Possible drivers: The US 10-year Treasury yield rose 3.36% to 5.16%, its fourth straight weekly gain and now 1.61 standard deviations above its 5-year average. Even so, the S&P 500 climbed 1.21% to 7,743.41. Gold fell 2.36% and slipped from Very High to High, the US Dollar Index firmed 0.81% to 101.04, and Bitcoin gained another 3.87%, its second straight weekly rise. Brent held near $104.71, above $100 for a third straight week.

What it could mean: Stocks rising while yields keep climbing and the dollar firms is an unusual mix, and gold’s slide fits with that combination of higher yields and a stronger dollar. The question worth watching is how long equities can keep absorbing yields at this level. Bitcoin’s continued strength, meanwhile, is diverging from the pullback in gold, the other asset often viewed as an alternative store of value.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Heating Oil (-9.45%) and Gasoline (-9.38%) both fell sharply even though Brent crude held roughly flat, suggesting refined products moved independently of crude this week. Heating Oil remains at a Very High level despite the drop. Coffee logged its fifth consecutive weekly decline (-5.58%) and slipped from a High to an Average level, while Cocoa bounced +5.18% after last week’s -10.64% drop.

What it could mean: Fuel prices cooling while crude holds steady is worth watching, as it could reflect easing demand or supply for refined products specifically. Coffee’s fifth straight loss, and its move down to an Average level, marks a clear shift for a commodity that had been sitting at High levels just a week ago. Cocoa’s rebound is the first sign of a bounce after a rough stretch in the softs.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include competition intensity & availability of substitutes, change in customer demand or preferences, and macroeconomic decline or recession.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Semtech and Pershing Square both posted strong single-week gains (+25.81% and +24.67%) without an obvious shared sector driver, suggesting company-specific catalysts rather than a broad move. Halozyme’s YTD lead (+60.71%) continues a healthcare/biotech theme we’ve seen build over recent weeks. On the downside, HubSpot’s weekly drop (-13.76%) leads a software-heavy laggard list alongside DraftKings and Toast.

What it could mean: CoStar Group’s continued presence at the top of the YoY laggard board, now spanning multiple weeks of our data, keeps pointing to real estate data services as one of this cycle’s more durable weak spots. The software names showing up together as weekly laggards (HubSpot, DraftKings, Toast) is worth watching for whether it’s a sector rotation or just a rough week for a few names.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include adverse capital markets access, change in customer demand or preferences, and macroeconomic decline or recession.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Rackspace Technology remains the runaway YTD leader in this bracket (+295.87%), continuing its multi-week run at the top. Securitize Corp.’s appearance among weekly leaders (+32.28%) is notable given crypto and digital-asset strength elsewhere in this week’s data. Verra Mobility remains a repeat laggard across both YTD and YoY windows for yet another week.

What it could mean: Verra Mobility’s now-persistent presence on the laggard board across multiple weeks looks less like a one-off and more like a sustained decline. Securitize’s strong week, alongside Bitcoin’s rally in the indicators below, hints that digital-asset-adjacent names may be catching a broader tailwind this week.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggard industries include macroeconomic decline or recession, competition intensity & availability of substitutes, and adverse capital markets access.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Digital & Cryptocurrency tops the weekly industry board (+11.12%), a sharp reversal for an industry that still sits among the worst YoY performers (-47.50%). Refining & Smelting holds its YTD and YoY leadership for a third straight week, keeping the energy-linked theme intact even as crude itself cooled off this week. Children remains a laggard across both YTD and YoY windows once again.

What it could mean: Digital & Cryptocurrency’s strong single week against a deeply negative YoY backdrop is exactly the kind of divergence worth watching closely — it could mark the start of a recovery, or simply a bounce inside a longer downtrend. Refining & Smelting’s continued dominance across YTD and YoY, even as crude eased slightly this week, suggests the industry’s strength is now broader than the commodity price alone.

04 · INDICATORS

Where the Big Levels Sit

Positions vs. a 5-year moving average. Level reflects standard deviations from the mean.

THE READ

Possible drivers: After two straight weeks of sharp moves, most major indicators held roughly steady this week — the S&P 500 (-0.08%), Hang Seng (-0.22%), and Crude Oil Brent (-0.71%) all posted only modest changes. Bitcoin was the standout, jumping 4.83%, while the US Dollar Index firmed slightly (+1.11%) after recent weakness.

What it could mean: A quieter week across equities and bonds, following back-to-back weeks of yield spikes and oil rallies, could suggest markets are digesting recent moves rather than starting a new trend. Bitcoin’s standalone strength, alongside Digital & Cryptocurrency’s industry-level rebound above, is the clearest signal in this week’s data and worth tracking for follow-through next week.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Both Bitcoin (+4.83%) and Ethereum (+3.84%) show up among this week’s biggest gainers, reinforcing the crypto strength seen elsewhere in this week’s data. Coffee logged its fourth consecutive weekly decline (-6.09%, following prior drops of -12.86%, -15.31%, and -12.34%), one of the longest-running trends we’ve tracked this quarter.

What it could mean: Crypto’s appearance across three separate parts of this week’s data — the industry table, the indicator table, and the weekly movers list — makes it the clearest single theme of the week. Coffee’s fourth straight weekly loss is now a well-established slide rather than a blip, worth flagging for anyone tracking the agricultural complex.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include adverse capital markets access, macroeconomic decline or recession, and competition intensity & availability of substitutes.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Datadog leads the week (+5.80%) alongside Fair Isaac and Marvell Technology, a mix of software and semiconductor names rather than a single-sector story. BHP Group’s YTD lead (+47.78%) lines up with this week’s continued strength in materials and mining, while JB Hunt’s YoY standout (+92.01%) points to transportation holding up well over the longer window. Caseys General Stores’ sharp weekly drop (-16.91%) stands out against an otherwise moderate laggard list.

What it could mean: BHP Group’s YTD leadership alongside this week’s Drilling & Mining and Refining & Smelting industry gains (below) suggests materials strength is broadening out, not just an energy story. Fiserv and Zscaler’s steep YoY declines, both fintech/security-adjacent names, are worth watching for a common thread in payments and cybersecurity spend.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include change in customer demand or preferences, competition intensity & availability of substitutes, and macroeconomic decline or recession.

THE READ

What it could mean: MaxLinear’s continued presence across multiple leaderboards makes it one of the more durable small-cap growth stories we’re tracking. Verra Mobility’s repeated appearance as a laggard across windows, now spanning several weeks in our data, looks less like noise and more like a sustained decline worth monitoring.

Possible drivers: MaxLinear shows up as both a 1-week leader (+13.98%) and the second-strongest YoY performer (+362.60%), a repeat appearance that continues a trend we flagged in prior weeks. GameSquare Holdings tops the week (+19.32%), while Suja Life’s identical YTD and YoY loss (-97.50%) signals the bulk of its decline happened in a single stretch rather than gradually. Verra Mobility remains a laggard across both YTD and YoY windows once again.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggard industries include competition intensity & availability of substitutes, change in customer demand or preferences, and macroeconomic decline or recession.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Refining & Smelting holds onto the top spot in both YTD (+63.82%) and YoY (+112.48%) windows for a second straight week, while Glass joins it at the top of the YoY table (+99.64%) — both lining up with this week’s continued crude oil strength. Jewelry & Ornaments’ sudden 1-week surge (+17.05%) is a new name at the top and worth watching for follow-through. Children continues to show up as a laggard across all three windows, now a multi-week pattern.

What it could mean: Refining & Smelting’s second consecutive week at the top of the YTD and YoY tables, alongside crude oil’s continued climb (below), reinforces that energy-linked industries are driving a real trend rather than a one-week spike. Children’s persistent weakness across 1-week, YTD, and YoY windows alike is one of the more consistent signals in this week’s data.

04 · INDICATORS

Where the Big Levels Sit

Positions vs. a 5-year moving average. Level reflects standard deviations from the mean.

THE READ

Possible drivers: The US 10Y Treasury jumped sharply this week (+3.86%), pushing yields to 4.97% and further above their 5-year average. Crude Oil (Brent) extended last week’s rally with another strong gain (+8.45%), while risk assets broadly pulled back — the S&P 500 (-0.80%), Hang Seng (-3.30%), and Bitcoin (-3.14%) all declined, and Gold eased slightly (-0.90%) after recent strength.

What it could mean: A sharp yield spike alongside declines across equities, Hang Seng, and Bitcoin is a classic risk-off signature — rising discount rates tend to pressure valuations across risk assets simultaneously. Combined with crude’s second straight week of gains, this week’s data leans toward an inflation-and-rates story rather than a growth scare, though it’s worth watching whether equities stabilize next week or the selloff broadens.

• Cocoa · High — -4.44%

THE READ

Possible drivers: Both crude oil benchmarks posted strong back-to-back weekly gains — WTI (+9.70%) and Brent (+8.45%) — confirming last week’s rally wasn’t a one-off. Sovereign bond yields moved sharply higher across multiple countries, with Switzerland’s 10-year up 30.53% and Turkey’s up 8.43%. Coffee logged its third consecutive weekly decline (-12.34%, following prior drops of -12.86% and -15.31%), extending one of the longer-running trends in this dataset.

What it could mean: Crude’s second straight week of strong gains on both benchmarks, together with the Refining & Smelting industry’s continued lead above, points to a genuine multi-week energy trend rather than a single spike. Coffee’s third consecutive weekly loss is now a well-established slide worth flagging for anyone tracking the agricultural complex.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include competition & substitutes, reputation or brand decline, and leverage increase.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Exelixis leads the week (+8.22%) alongside Galaxy Digital Holdings and Deere & Company. Energy names dominate the YTD leaderboard — APA Corporation, Petrobras, and Datadog — while DigitalOcean’s YoY standout (+250.33%) towers over energy names Ecopetrol and Targa Resources. Laggards this week skew consumer and cybersecurity (SharkNinja, SailPoint, Crowdstrike), while CoStar Group and Insulet Corporation continue their now-familiar slide across both YTD and YoY.

What it could mean: Energy names showing up repeatedly across the YTD leaderboard (APA, Petrobras) lines up with this week’s sharp crude oil rally — worth watching whether that connection holds. CoStar and Insulet’s repeated laggard status, now spanning several weeks, continues to point to real-estate data and medical devices as persistent weak spots this cycle.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include changing customer demand, competition & substitutes, and reputation or brand decline.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Titan Machinery leads the week (+30.96%), while MaxLinear shows up as both a YTD leader (+237.03%) and the top YoY performer (+300.73%) — a rare double appearance suggesting durable strength rather than a single spike. Verra Mobility remains at the bottom of both the YTD (-82.08%) and YoY (-83.67%) laggard lists for a fifth straight week, alongside Anbio Biotechnology’s steep declines in both windows.

What it could mean: MaxLinear’s consistency across YTD and YoY makes it one of the more reliable growth stories in this dataset right now. Verra Mobility’s fifth consecutive week as a top laggard across both windows is no longer a blip — it’s the most persistent decline we’ve tracked this quarter.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggard industries include macroeconomic decline or recession, adverse capital markets access, and reputation or brand decline.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Refining & Smelting is this week’s standout, topping all three windows — 1-week (+34.94%), YTD (+58.69%), and YoY (+109.85%) — a sharp change from Operator and Glass, which had led the YTD/YoY tables for over a month and are now absent from the top three. This lines up closely with the sharp jump in crude oil prices this week (Brent +8.77%, WTI +9.40%). On the downside, Children continues its extended slide, now appearing as a laggard in both the 1-week and YoY windows.

What it could mean: Refining & Smelting’s sudden dominance across every window, right alongside this week’s crude oil surge, looks like a direct read-through from energy prices to the industries that process them — worth watching whether it holds if oil prices ease. Operator and Glass’s disappearance from the leaderboard after weeks at the top is worth flagging as a possible turning point rather than routine noise.

04 · INDICATORS

Where the Big Levels Sit

Positions vs. a 5-year moving average. Level reflects standard deviations from the mean.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Crude Oil (Brent) jumped 8.77% this week and moved back to a High historical level (0.85 standard deviations above trend), reversing last week’s pullback. The US 10Y Treasury also climbed (+1.53%), while Gold stayed essentially flat (-0.02%) after two weeks of larger swings. Bitcoin continued its steady climb (+2.37%), remaining at a High level.

What it could mean: Crude’s sharp reversal this week, paired with the Refining & Smelting industry surge above, suggests energy is back in focus after a quieter previous week. Gold’s flat week after recent volatility could mean it’s consolidating at its current Very High level rather than reversing outright — worth watching for direction next week.

● Cotton · Average  —  -5.42%

THE READ

Possible drivers: Both crude oil benchmarks — WTI (+9.40%) and Brent (+8.77%) — posted strong gains together, alongside Orange Juice and Coal. Coffee extended its decline for a second straight week (-15.31%, following last week’s -12.86%), and the rest of the agricultural complex broadly softened too — Cocoa, Wheat, and Cotton all fell.

What it could mean: The simultaneous jump in both crude oil benchmarks confirms energy strength isn’t isolated to one contract, and lines up directly with this week’s Refining & Smelting industry surge. Coffee’s second consecutive steep weekly decline is now a two-week trend rather than a one-off move, and worth watching for whether it continues.

THE READ

Possible drivers: TTM Technologies leads the week (+10.10%) alongside Lumentum — both electronics and optical component makers, pointing to continued hardware demand. STMicroelectronics keeps its position among YTD leaders for a second straight week, this time alongside Arrow Electronics and Allegheny Technologies — a semiconductor and materials theme that’s held for over a month now. Laggards this week skew mixed — energy (Ecopetrol), software (Unity) — while Boston Scientific and Roblox continue their extended slides across YTD and YoY.

What it could mean: STMicroelectronics’ repeated presence on the YTD leaderboard over multiple weeks is one of the more durable trends we’ve tracked this quarter. Boston Scientific and Roblox showing up as laggards again — now a multi-week pattern for both — continues to point to healthcare devices and consumer tech as this cycle’s persistent weak spots.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggards include competition & substitutes, changing customer demand, and adverse capital markets access.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Polestar Automotive’s 94.22% weekly jump is this week’s single biggest small-cap mover, alongside Kanzhun and Emergent Biosolutions. Entravision Communications reappears on the YTD leaderboard (+170.17%) for the third time in as many weeks — a genuinely volatile stock this cycle. On the downside, Verra Mobility now sits at the top of both the YTD (-81.15%) and YoY (-83.40%) laggard lists — the worst possible combination, and its fourth straight week on this list.

What it could mean: Entravision’s repeated appearances — leader, laggard, leader again — make it one to watch rather than trust on any single week’s number. Verra Mobility’s consistent presence at the bottom of both windows, now four weeks running, looks like the most structural story in this dataset.

Capnote tip: common risk factors among these YTD laggard industries include competition & substitutes, reputation or brand decline, and macroeconomic decline or recession.

THE READ

Possible drivers: Operator and Glass continue their run at the top of both the YTD and YoY tables — a trend that’s now held for over a month. Government Contractor and Children remain fixtures at the bottom of the same two windows. On the week, Exercise & Fitness posted the sharpest single-industry drop we’ve seen in a while (-15.34%), while Delivery & Mail and Tobacco led the modest weekly gains.

What it could mean: With Operator and Glass leading, and Government Contractor and Children lagging, across both YTD and YoY for multiple weeks running, these look like the more durable industry stories this quarter — worth watching for how long the pattern holds. Exercise & Fitness’s sharp weekly drop is worth a closer look, since nothing else in this week’s data points to an obvious sector-wide cause.

Where the Big Levels Sit

Positions vs. a 5-year moving average. Level reflects standard deviations from the mean.

THE READ

Possible drivers: After last week’s sharp moves, several indicators cooled off — Gold pulled back 2.60% (though it remains Very High at 2.23 standard deviations above trend), and Bitcoin eased slightly (-0.64%) after its 24% surge the week before, still sitting at a High historical level. Brent crude dropped 6.46% on the week, reversing part of its recent gain, while the Hang Seng also pulled back 1.63%.

What it could mean: This week reads like a cooldown after last week’s sharp crypto and gold moves — neither reversed course, but both eased off their fastest pace. Crude’s pullback is worth watching alongside this week’s steep drop in Gasoline and Heating Oil below, which points to broader softness across the energy complex rather than a single indicator.

▲ GAINS SINCE LAST WEEK

● Wheat · Low  —  +12.12%

● Cocoa · High  —  +9.98%

● Baltic Dry · High  —  +9.36%

▼ LOSSES SINCE LAST WEEK

● Coffee · High  —  -12.86%

● Gasoline · High  —  -8.96%

● Crude Oil (Brent) · Average  —  -6.46%

● Heating Oil · Very High  —  -5.62%

● Live Cattle · High  —  -5.03%

THE READ

Possible drivers: Agricultural commodities dominated the week’s gains — Oat, Wheat, and Cocoa all posted double-digit or near-double-digit moves, alongside a continued climb in the Baltic Dry index. On the downside, Coffee had its steepest drop in recent weeks (-12.86%), and the energy complex broadly softened — Gasoline, Crude Oil (Brent), and Heating Oil all fell together.

What it could mean: A broad agricultural rally alongside a broad energy pullback is an unusual combination worth watching — it doesn’t fit a single clean narrative like risk-on or risk-off. Coffee’s sharp reversal after recent strength is worth flagging on its own, since it’s one of the largest single-week moves in this dataset.
