Breaking news are the key

Why breaking news / market-moving news are the starting point:

Moodix measurement is based on the thesis that most major market movements and trend changes in financial markets are the result of the impact of some of the endless stream of chaotically emerging news. So-called “breaking news”. This news aggregate to create positive or negative pressure and define the sentiment of global financial markets.

Financial markets move when fresh information upsets existing expectations. Moodix assumes that most large price swings and trend reversals are triggered by a very small fraction of the daily news flow—roughly 1 % of the ≈ 3 000 headlines it logs each day qualify as genuine *breaking news*. The platform therefore focuses on detecting those market‑moving items and quantifying their impact.
