Market News Analyst

**Quick judgment** Market News Analyst is a strong, specialized skill for short-horizon (last ~10 days) market news analysis, especially around central bank moves, macro data, large-cap earnings, and geopolitical events affecting US equities and major commodities. Its structured, reference-driven workflow and explicit impact scoring make it well-suited for users who need disciplined, cross-asset event analysis rather than informal commentary. **Key strengths** - Well-defined 6-step workflow from data collection to ranked impact analysis, including explicit price-move thresholds and breadth multipliers. - Heavy emphasis on high-quality sources (official sites, major financial media) and on cross-asset reactions (equities, bonds, FX, commodities, volatility). - Designed outputs are structured English reports, ordered by quantified impact scores, which improves interpretability and repeatability. **Main risks / limitations** - Reliant on web tools for recent news; coverage or quality can degrade if WebSearch/WebFetch returns incomplete, delayed, or lower-quality sources. - Focused primarily on US equities and mainstream commodities; coverage of non-US equity markets or niche assets may be weaker. - Provides analytical content that some users may treat as actionable financial advice even though it is intended as impact analysis, not trading signals. - Complex scoring framework may introduce variability if underlying price-move data are noisy or ambiguous. **Recommended scenarios** - Weekly or 10-day market wrap-ups to understand which events truly drove cross-asset moves and which were secondary. - Explaining the market reaction to a specific central bank decision, macro release, or major geopolitical escalation. - Reviewing mega-cap earnings seasons to see how results and guidance propagated into sectors and broad indices. - Assessing how recent geopolitical news has translated into moves in oil, gold, and key industrial commodities, with attention to correlation vs causation. **Less-suitable scenarios** - Long-term investment planning, portfolio construction, or strategic asset allocation beyond short-term news impacts. - Highly granular coverage of small-cap, illiquid, or niche assets not widely covered by major financial news sources. - Pure forecasting or trade-timing tasks without a clear recent-news component.
