Macro News Card Reference

What is a Macro News Card?

The Macro News Card delivers the market narrative behind the numbers. While the Macro Card shows what happened to prices, the Macro News Card explains why — surfacing the 3 highest-impact headlines of the day alongside an AI-written driver summary and a single market sentiment reading. Ask Thay macro news or ข่าวตลาด to get the card.

Driver & Sentiment

Driver

The Driver is a 1–2 sentence summary written by AI after reading the 20 most recent market news articles. It does not repeat individual headlines — it extracts the common thread and names the macro force most likely to be moving the market that day. Think of it as the answer to: What is the market actually reacting to right now?

Sentiment

The Sentiment badge is a single label assigned by AI based on the overall tone of the day's news. It summarises the collective mood into one of four readings — each one actionable in a different way.

RISK-ON

News flow is broadly positive. Macro tailwinds, earnings beats, or easing conditions dominate. A supportive environment for equities — setups that meet criteria are higher-probability.

RISK-OFF

News flow is broadly negative. Recession signals, credit stress, geopolitical escalation, or policy tightening dominate. A defensive environment — prefer cash, reduce exposure, and apply stricter entry criteria.

TENSE

Conflicting signals — some positive, some negative — with elevated uncertainty. Market could move sharply either way. Reduce position size, widen stops, and wait for clarity before adding exposure.

NEUTRAL

News flow is quiet or mixed with no dominant theme. Markets are likely range-bound. No strong macro edge in either direction — let price action and individual PT setups guide decisions.

Note: Sentiment is not a buy or sell signal. It is context. A RISK-OFF day does not mean every stock falls — it means the macro environment is working against you, so the bar for entering new positions should be higher.

News Headlines

Each card shows exactly 3 headlines — the ones AI judged to have the highest market impact from the latest news batch. They are not the most recent 3 articles; they are the 3 most relevant to understanding what is moving markets. Each headline links to the original article.

How to Read a Macro News Card

Read it in order — Driver first, then Sentiment, then Headlines.

1

Read the Driver

The Driver tells you the macro narrative in one or two sentences. It is the single most useful piece of context before you look at any price or chart. If you only have 5 seconds, read this.

2

Check the Sentiment badge

The badge tells you how to calibrate your position sizing and entry criteria for the day. RISK-ON supports new entries. RISK-OFF means apply a higher bar. TENSE means reduce size. NEUTRAL means let setups speak for themselves.

3

Scan the headlines

The 3 headlines are ranked by market impact. Read the title and source. Tap any headline to read the full article. Look for themes that connect to stocks in your watchlist — a rate decision that affects growth names, a geopolitical event that affects defence or energy, or a company-specific catalyst that could move a sector.
