Over the last 10 years

What it is

How many years of average earnings you pay for the market. Higher means more expensive. Note: it has been high for a decade versus its 150-year history. S&P 500 price over the average of its inflation-adjusted earnings of the last 10 years. Part of the theme "Price of stocks": Whether US stocks are expensive or cheap relative to their earnings and to bonds.

How to read it

Higher means more risk. The colour compares today’s value with the indicator’s own last 10 years: "Good" is the most favourable third of its history, "Poor" the most strained. It describes the present and anticipates nothing.
