There is a widely held belief that the cover of the Economist is a contra indicator. The Economist itself also covers this question in an article. The quantitative analysis concludes no. For me, I feel like the cover is too narrow. I feel you need to read the main lead article to see what their logic is to really get an idea of it contra indicator ability. For me, reading the article, it feels generally good news I think, as least in regards to short TLT.
