The market-news-analyst skill performs structured analysis of recent market-moving news and its impact on US equity markets and commodities. It solves the problem of quickly synthesizing the past ~10 days of major financial events, central bank decisions, economic data, mega-cap earnings, geopolitical developments, and commodity moves, into an impact-ranked, evidence-based report. All analysis and output are conducted in English, and results are delivered as conversational guidance plus an optional Markdown report the user can save.
It runs a six-step workflow that begins with news collection using the assistant's built-in WebSearch and WebFetch tools, executing parallel queries across monetary policy (FOMC, ECB, BOJ), inflation and economic data (CPI, NFP, GDP, PPI), mega-cap earnings, geopolitical events, commodity markets, and broad corporate news. It prioritizes authoritative sources, official government and central-bank sites first, then tier-one financial press and specialized outlets, backed by an extensive trusted-sources reference and additional references on corporate news impact, geopolitical-commodity correlations, and market event patterns. Subsequent steps evaluate impact magnitude, analyze actual market reactions, and produce a report ranked by significance. It requires no API keys, relying entirely on built-in web search, and generates no files automatically.
Target users are traders, analysts, and investors who want a fast, sourced briefing on what moved markets recently and why. Use cases include reviewing FOMC or other central-bank decisions and their market effects, assessing geopolitical impacts on oil and gold, and summarizing mega-cap tech earnings and their reactions. The skill is read-only research tooling with no system-level actions, making it benign.
