Format

An xts object with 1,104 observations and 5 columns. The data run from January, 1927 through December, 2018. As in the upstream source, the data are given in percents, meaning a value of 1.00 corresponds to a 1% movement.

The monthly returns of the Manufacturing industry, published as “Manuf”.

Technology

These are not the “ex dividend” returns series.
