The shaded band shows the range of outcomes the model calculates, not a single prediction. Each labeled
line is a percentile of that distribution.
The median (P50) is the calculated middle path: half of modeled outcomes fall above it, half below. The
inner band, between P25 and P75, holds half of all calculated outcomes. The outer limits, P5 and P95,
bound the 90% probability density layer, leaving 5% of modeled outcomes beyond each edge.
A wider band further out reflects greater uncertainty over longer horizons. These are modeled
probabilities, not guarantees. Past performance doesn't guarantee accuracy.

Dow's narrow path higher rests on oil and the Fed. & Analysis underpinning the 10-Year HMX 1.75 Probabilistic Forecast
The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed to record levels in early August, a move that coincided with a sharp drop in crude oil prices after the U.S. and Iran moved toward diplomacy. Lower energy costs eased inflation fears, allowing Treasury yields to fall and taking pressure off the Federal Reserve. Manufacturing data is strong, with the ISM PMI reported at 55.6, but the rally's concentration is striking—a handful of stocks, notably Microsoft and Goldman Sachs, drove the bulk of recent gains. That lack of breadth raises questions about sustainability, especially if the tech earnings momentum that powered July stutters. Over the next two months, the index will likely be tugged between resilient corporate profits and the Fed's inflation fight, with oil prices acting as the wild card. Any breakdown in Middle East talks could quickly reverse the oil discount and reintroduce volatility.
Oil's sudden discount and the inflation relief trade
The Dow's late-July surge wasn't about a new economic boom. It was about the removal of a tax. Brent crude fell roughly $16 in eight trading days as President Trump pivoted to diplomacy with Iran, easing fears over the Strait of Hormuz. That drop translated directly into lower input costs for transports and industrials, and it took the heat off bond markets. The 30-year Treasury yield, which had touched 5.2%, retreated. For a market worried about sticky inflation forcing the Fed's hand, that was oxygen. The problem is the discount is built on a fragile truce; Iran's already rejected regional management proposals, and the threat of renewed tensions is a constant undercurrent.
The concentration problem inside the record
Look past the index level and the rally looks thin. Analysis of the 615-point gain on July 30 found that Microsoft and Goldman Sachs accounted for the vast majority of it. Earlier, six stocks were responsible for about 87% of a similar surge. This isn't new—the Dow is price-weighted, so high-priced stocks have outsize influence—but it highlights a market where capital is rotating, not flooding in. Money's coming out of semiconductor names and finding a home in old-economy blue chips. For the medium term, that means the index's health is tied to the continued outperformance of a very small club.
The Fed's hold and what comes next
The Federal Reserve held rates steady in July, but the vote was 9-3 and prediction markets immediately priced in a higher chance of a future hike. The core PCE inflation gauge is still above target. What that means for the next two months is a waiting game: strong data like the 55.6 ISM PMI argues for hawkishness, while cooler oil argues for patience. The Dow, with its mix of cyclicals and defensives, tends to benefit from this ambiguity. But if the data forces the Fed's hand, the yield curve could steepen again, and the window for multiple expansion might close.
HMX 1.75 Probabilistic forecast chart for Dow Jones, plotting roughly 4 years of price history against a 2 years forward projection. Through the 4 years window the series advanced 60% (start ~$33800, window high ~$53900) and was relatively steady, with a maximum drawdown near 15%. Price now stands near $53900, around 0% at the window peak, and relative to the projection it lies inside the 1 year interquartile range, i.e. broadly fairly valued. Over the coming 2 years the central (median) estimate centres on a rise of ~4%, landing near $56100. The P5 to P95 range is roughly 51% of the median and the band widens sharply with horizon. At the horizon the downside (P5) sits near $42400, about 21% below the current price, and the upside (P95) near $70800, about 31% above it. Overall the spread is roughly symmetric.

Model Description
HMX 1.75 is the current production release of the Heatmup forecasting engine. It operates as an equally weighted baseline: every model in the ensemble pool contributes equally to the final distribution, regardless of individual track record. The output is a probability distribution over future price and time for each covered asset, rendered as a heatmap. Percentile bands (P5 to P95) capture 90% of modeled outcomes. Every generated distribution is archived with an immutable ID and public timestamp and resolved later against the realized market price. HMX 1.75 is not an AI system under the EU AI Act; it is a deterministic quantitative aggregation engine.

Methodology
HMX aggregates outputs from a proprietary pool of independent quantitative models operating in strict isolation. Each model produces discrete predictions (date, target price, probability) without visibility into the others. The HMX engine combines these inputs using time-decay weighting, which prioritizes recent data, into a single probability distribution per asset. The process is deterministic: identical inputs produce identical outputs. No machine learning is applied at inference. HMX 1.75 uses equal weighting, meaning every model in the pool contributes equally regardless of historical track record. Accuracy-weighted calibration, where model influence is proportional to resolved performance, is scheduled for HMX 2.0 in September 2026.

('Calibration of HMX 1.75 is measured by assigning each resolved forecast to the percentile band containing its realized price, defined as the OHLC4 midpoint of the resolving bar, and aggregating these assignments across all covered assets and dates into a probability integral transform (PIT) histogram. All published metrics derive from this histogram and the computation is deterministic. Reported metrics are the calibration slope and intercept, Expected and Maximum Calibration Error (the latter equal to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance on the PIT under this binning), prediction interval coverage for the central fifty and ninety percent intervals, reduced chi-square PIT uniformity, and interval sharpness. These are summarized in the Market Intelligence Score, a proprietary Heatmup composite on a zero to one hundred scale that weights calibration error, tail behaviour, calibration slope, distributional uniformity, and sharpness; it is not an industry standard, and its normalization functions are published with the scoring code so the composite is auditable. The current figures describe the equally weighted baseline over the live resolved-forecast window to date and are computed by Heatmup Oy. The underlying resolved-forecast data and scoring code are published so the metrics can be independently reproduced and verified. Measurement of calibration is distinct from a representation that the output is calibrated or guaranteed; the score is a diagnostic. Full definitions, interpretation ranges, and validation status are set out in the Accuracy and Calibration Methodology at heatmup.com/accuracy, heatmup.com/accuracy-methodology.',)
