Following the popularity of the daily Market Intelligence Brief (MIB), we had requests from many customers and fund managers to provide a weekly version with true weekly synthesis. The synthesis & analysis of the MIB is identified as the real value add and not the story content. After a few weeks of testing, we are launching the MIB Weekly Digest, published each Saturday alongside the daily MIB posts in the Market Commentary Blog.
To manage your individual preferences, a new opt-out field has been added to your PROFILE page. You can choose to receive email copies of the Daily MIB, the Weekly Digest, both, or neither. As with the launch of the daily MIB we have assumed you want to receive the weekly Digest emails, so unless you do not want to receive it or would prefer to only receive the Digest and not the daily MIB, you do not need to visit the profile page.
The MIB Weekly Digest is not a summary of the five daily MIBs. It is an independent synthesis built from scratch.
Each week’s five daily reports cover roughly 100-120 top news and economic stories across market data, macro releases, geopolitics and corporate earnings. The Digest reads every one of those stories as raw material and re-derives the week’s narrative from first principles — asking which stories actually mattered across the full five sessions, not just on the day they broke. A story that led Monday’s report may not appear in the Digest at all if it failed to persist or compound through the week. Conversely, a thread that seemed minor on Tuesday may rank as the week’s most consequential development once Friday’s data completes the picture.
This weekly timeframe unlocks several things the daily format cannot provide:
- True week-on-week market context: All price moves, yield shifts, and sector rotations are measured across five sessions — giving you WoW percentage changes, momentum signals, and the Dow Theory / breadth reads that intraday or single-session data obscures.
- Arc identification: Multi-day story sagas — an escalating geopolitical event, an earnings-week AI bifurcation, a week of stagflation data — are collapsed into single narrative arcs that show you the full shape of what happened, not five disconnected daily snapshots.
- Re-ranked story importance: Stories are re-scored on five criteria: persistence across the week, magnitude × duration, cross-asset ripple, defined forward catalyst, and index-path consequence. The ranking you see in the Digest reflects the full week’s evidence — not the information available at Monday’s close.
- A completely rewritten executive summary: The Week at a Glance is not an aggregation of five daily summaries. It is written fresh on Saturday with the full week’s data in hand — surfacing the themes, leadership shifts, and reaction-function changes that only become visible once all five sessions are complete.
- A cleaner forward setup: What to Watch Next Week is written with full week context, making it sharper and more actionable than any individual Friday’s outlook section.
The Digest is designed to be read on weekends in 10-15minutes, giving you the complete picture of the past week before markets reopen Monday.
You may decide the weekly frequency and analysis/synthesis is more valuable to you than the higher granularity of the daily MIB. In this case you can go to your profile and simply opt-out of the daily MIB emails to only receive a weekly emailed version via the MIB Digest. If you prefer the better formatted versions on our web site (better readability with links you can click on to jump to sections etc.) you may elect to opt-out of any email versions and just go to Market Commentary to consume content on demand.
To give you time to set your email preferences, emailed copies of the MIB Digest will start on Saturday 9th May (next week.)
