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.

S&P500's record earnings meet oil and rate fears & Analysis underpinning the 10-Year HMX 1.75 Probabilistic Forecast
The S&P500 is caught in a tug-of-war between the best corporate earnings in years and swelling macroeconomic headwinds. Net profit margins hit 15.7% last quarter, with earnings growth projected around 38%, but oil prices have surged 30% this month on Middle East tensions. That's pushed market expectations for Fed rate hikes higher, a historical precursor to corrections. For the next two months, the question isn't whether earnings are good—they are—but whether they can outweigh the drag from energy costs and tighter monetary policy. Technical support levels have broken, adding to near-term fragility.
Profit margins haven't been this high since 2009
FactSet reports the S&P500's blended net profit margin reached 15.7% in Q2 2026, the highest since tracking began. Earnings growth is projected at 37.9%, with 86% of companies beating estimates. Yet the market's response has been muted, almost dismissive. Attention has shifted to what could undermine those margins: rising input costs from energy and the threat of higher interest rates squeezing demand.
Oil prices are rewriting the Fed's script
Brent crude's leap to over $88 a barrel, up 7.3% in a day, has altered inflation expectations. Markets now see a 36% chance of a rate hike, and some analysts expect two if oil stays elevated. This directly pressures equity valuations, particularly for growth stocks. The medium-term outlook hinges on whether geopolitical tensions ease or if oil remains a persistent, earnings-eroding force.
The 7,300 support level gave way
The S&P500 broke below the 7,300 mark, a critical support zone identified in options markets. That breakdown increases short-term volatility risks, with technical focus shifting to 7,236. While the index rebounded quickly, the breach suggests underlying weakness. Holding above these levels will be key for the next two months to avoid a deeper correction.
HMX 1.75 Forecast chart for S&P500: about 4 years of recorded history on the left, a 2 years probability fan on the right. History across the 4 years window has been relatively steady: price climbed 90% off a start around $3960, peaking near $7580 and at one point pulling back about 17% from its running high. Price now stands near $7530, around 1% 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 projects a decline of ~2%, landing near $7350. The P5 to P95 range is roughly 64% of the median and the band widens sharply with horizon. At the horizon the downside (P5) sits near $5070, about 33% below the current price, and the upside (P95) near $9800, about 30% above it. Overall the spread is roughly symmetric. Produced by HMX 1.75, a raw aggregation model that combines independent predictions into a single probabilistic forecast; agreement among inputs is not consensus, and there is no guarantee of results.

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.

S&P500 6-month-forecast median is $7310 ($6480 to $7910), downside-skewed. HMX 1.75 Forecast chart for S&P500: about 2 years of recorded history on the left, a 6 months probability fan on the right. Over that 2 years window the price was relatively steady, rose 37% from about $5500 to a window high near $7580, with a deepest peak-to-trough drawdown of roughly 17%. Today the price is approximately $7530 (about 1% at the window high); on the forecast it sits inside the 1 year interquartile range, i.e. broadly fairly valued. For the next 6 months, the median centres on a decline of roughly 3%, finishing around $7310. The P5 to P95 range is roughly 20% of the median with the band widening over the horizon. At the horizon the downside (P5) sits near $6480, about 14% below the current price, and the upside (P95) near $7910, about 5% above it. Overall the spread is downside-skewed (a fatter tail toward lower prices).

Overall the spread is downside-skewed (a fatter tail toward lower prices). Note the median is not monotonic: it peaks near 7610 then retraces about 10%, a spike-and-pullback shape that reflects disagreement among the aggregated inputs rather than a smooth trend.

('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.
