Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Confidence Index is not classified as a contrary trading rule. Contrary trading rules are based on the idea that when a large majority of investors hold a certain opinion or position, the opposite outcome is likely to occur. The Confidence Index, however, measures the spread between yields on high-grade bonds versus yields on intermediate-grade bonds, serving as an indicator of investor confidence in the economy, rather than a direct contrarian indicator like the others listed.
