Newsig guide
Stock Market News: Earnings, Macro & Index Reaction | Newsig
Stock market news is a mix of company-specific information and broad changes in discount rates or risk appetite. This guide shows how to place a headline in the right market context.
Earnings are more than a beat or miss
Investors compare results with expectations, guidance and the quality of the revenue or margin change. A company can beat the headline estimate and still fall if the outlook disappoints. The size and direction of the move also depend on positioning before the release.
Macro news can move every stock differently
Inflation, jobs, central-bank decisions and bond yields change the discount rate applied to future cash flows. Growth-sensitive technology shares, banks, defensives and small caps can therefore react in different directions even when the index headline sounds simple.
Separate the company move from the index move
A single stock may rise while the broader market falls, or the reverse. Comparing the company with a relevant index or sector fund helps identify whether the news changed the company outlook or simply arrived during a broad risk move.
How Newsig adds reaction context
Newsig maps market headlines to the assets they mention and measures the largest move and net change over the next 24 hours when data is available. The data pages let readers compare multiple events instead of treating one dramatic candle as a rule.
