Listing confidence indices

The four U.S. stock market confidence indexes are derived monthly from survey data on investors' behavior. These indexes are:

library(marketconf)
library(knitr)
kable(US_confidence_indices())

Plotting

This is a basic example that plots the U.S. Valuation Index:

library(ggplot2)

index_symbol <- "USVI"
index_df <- get_index(index_symbol)

ggplot(index_df, aes(x = Date, y = USVI.Value, color = Investor)) +
  geom_line() +
  ggtitle(get_index_description(index_symbol))
