market-news-analyst

What it does

The skill collects news from the past 10 days using WebSearch and WebFetch, focusing on monetary policy, earnings, geopolitics, and commodities. It evaluates impact magnitude and market reactions, then produces structured, English reports ranked by market impact significance.

How it works

1. News Collection via WebSearch/WebFetch: gathers items across monetary policy, inflation/economic data, mega-cap earnings, geopolitical events, commodity markets, and corporate news; documents date, event type, source tier, and initial market reaction.
2. Load Knowledge Base References: loads references/market_event_patterns.md and references/trusted_news_sources.md; conditionally loads additional references based on detected news types (central bank events, geopolitical-commodity correlations, corporate impact, etc.).
3. Impact Magnitude Assessment: for each item, computes an Impact Score using Price Impact Score (Severe/Major/Moderate/Minor/Negligible), Breadth Multiplier (Systemic/ Cross-Asset/ Sector-Wide/ Stock-Specific), and Forward-Looking Modifier (+50% for Regime Change, +25% for Trend Confirmation, 0% for Isolated, -25% for Contrary Signal); formula: Impact Score = (Price Impact Score × Breadth Multiplier) + Forward-Looking Modifier. Ranks events by score.
4. Market Reaction Analysis: for events with Impact Score > 5, analyzes immediate reaction, multi-asset response, and pattern alignment against historical references; identifies anomalies and notes sentiment indicators.
5. Correlation and Causation Assessment: examines interactions among multiple events within the window, including reinforcing, offsetting, sequential, and coincidental timing; assesses geopolitical-commodity links as applicable.
6. Report Generation: outputs a Markdown report ranked by impact score, including an Executive Summary and a Market Impact Rankings table, followed by Detailed Event Analyses for each event.

When to use it

The skill automatically collects news and produces impact-ranked analysis reports; output is presented in conversation and a comprehensive Markdown report can be saved to reports/ on request.

What it can touch

Uses WebSearch and WebFetch tools for data collection. Reports are generated in English and can be saved to a reports/ directory upon user request.

Caveats

No explicit licensing notes beyond MIT in the repository description; knowledge integration is limited to the loaded reference files and the collected news within the 10-day window. The workflow relies on available sources and may exclude non Tier-1 or minor events according to its filtering criteria.
