Analysts highlighted evolving consumer behavior as a key factor. Recent reports indicated shifting demand patterns in core markets, with some regions showing resilience while others experienced softness.

To conduct this back-test properly we need one extra piece of detail: Our back-testing engine currently evaluates one underlying at a time (it can’t yet build & rebalance a 500-name portfolio each day). There are two practical ways we could still approximate your idea: 1. Use an index/ETF that already represents the most actively traded U.S. names (for example, SPY, QQQ, IWM or an equal-weight large-cap ETF) and back-test “1-day holding, re-enter each day”. 2. Narrow the request to a single security and test the “buy at close, sell next day close” rule, which the engine can handle directly. Please let me know which direction you’d prefer—or if you have another approach in mind—and I’ll proceed with the data retrieval and back-testing steps right away.
