How Market Commentary is produced
Each commentary is generated from the same ORTEX datasets the rest of the site is built on — short interest estimates, securities-lending data, options flow, analyst movement, ETF money flow, regulatory filings — plus contextual news from US, Canadian, and European sources.
The seven themes publish on a staggered cadence so the General overview, which fires last in each window, can synthesise across the freshly-published per-theme pieces.
