DomainFork News Sentiment Index
How bullish or bearish the financial news reads, day by day. Zero is balanced, +100 is all good news, -100 is all bad. It measures the tone of the reporting, not a price and not a forecast.

How it is made
Each published finance story is given a tone reading when it is analysed: bullish, neutral or bearish. A day's index is the share of bullish stories minus the share of bearish ones, times 100, on Malaysian time. A desk needs at least six rated stories in the week to appear. The index describes coverage; it is not investment advice and does not predict prices. The same numbers are open at /api/public/data/sentiment.
