Trust & Sourcing
How MarketMood sources, classifies, and publishes market news — explained plainly, with no exaggeration.
Where our news comes from
MarketMood's news pipeline polls public Google News RSS feeds for headlines relevant to the instruments we track (Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, Nasdaq, S&P 500, Crude Oil) plus relevant forex-majors and Trump/White House economic-policy coverage. We do not have a newsroom of reporters generating original reporting — we aggregate and analyze real, already-published headlines from outlets like Reuters, Bloomberg, CNBC, CoinDesk, and others, and link back to the original source on every article.
How Market Impact / importance labels are generated
Each ingested headline is passed through an AI/LLM classification step that assigns a Bullish or Bearish market-impact read for the relevant instrument (we deliberately exclude Neutral-classified items from the public feed) and generates a short reasoning summary using hedged, non-certain language (e.g. “potentially bullish,” “could pressure”) — never absolute claims like “will rise.” A separate importance heuristic flags a subset of stories as higher-priority (“Breaking”/high-importance) based on signal strength, not human editorial judgment alone.
These are estimates generated with AI assistance, not guarantees, and not the product of a dedicated human editorial desk reviewing every single story before publish. We disclose this openly rather than presenting it as more authoritative than it is.
AI is used, and disclosed
Yes — AI (an LLM via OpenRouter) is used for headline classification, market-impact reasoning, and the per-instrument fundamental bias engine shown on the homepage. We are not claiming a proprietary, battle-tested trading algorithm or a team of round-the-clock human analysts. It is an automated pipeline with human oversight via the admin panel, not 24/7 human journalism.
Corrections & deletions
The site's admin panel lets a human operator pin, lower the priority of, or permanently delete any published article, and add manual posts when the automated pipeline misses something. If you spot an error, a broken source link, or a story that shouldn't be up, use our contact page and we will review it.
What MarketMood does NOT do
- No guaranteed predictions — every impact label is a hedged estimate, not a certainty.
- No buy/sell signals — we do not tell you to enter or exit a trade.
- No fabricated "proprietary algorithm" claims — the pipeline described above is the real one.
- No claim of a 24/7 human journalism desk — ingestion and classification are automated, with human admin oversight.
- No fabricated historical-accuracy statistics.
