Global Macro Pulse
Markets don't move for one clean reason overnight — they move because of a PBOC rate cut in Shanghai, an oil spike from the Middle East, and a Nikkei rally, all before you've had coffee. This Agent was built for anyone tired of opening five news tabs every morning just to guess which overnight story actually mattered for US stocks.
Turns overnight Asia/Europe/commodity/FX news into a ranked pre-market briefing for US equities. Every story is verified against 2+ independent sources, scored High/Medium/Low for US market impact, mapped to the sector or ticker it affects, and cross-checked against today's US economic calendar. Runs before the opening bell — know what moved overnight and why it matters.
Research and informational purposes only — not investment advice, not a buy/sell signal.
What this Agent does
This Agent scans the last 12–16 hours of global financial news (Asia close, Europe morning, commodities, currencies, central banks, geopolitics) and produces a decision-ready US pre-market briefing that includes:
- Market Open Thesis + overnight bias tally (Risk-on / Risk-off / Mixed)
- Top 5 Spotlight table ranked by US equity impact — scannable in about ten seconds
- Causal-chain deep dive for each spotlight story (Event → Mechanism → Historical analog → Second-order effects / what would change the read)
- Sectors & tickers to watch — concrete names, not just "markets reacted"
- Today's US economic calendar cross-reference
- Verification gaps and risk flags (Confirmed / Developing / Contradictory)
Built on a redundant free-tier data stack (Finnhub, Marketaux, FMP, FRED calendar) so coverage does not break if one source has a bad day. If overnight news is thin, it says so — no inflating a minor story to fill space.
Best for
- Retail traders and investors who check pre-market news every morning
- Understanding why US futures are up or down overnight
- Translating China data, ECB/BOJ decisions, oil/gold moves, FX swings, or geopolitics into US sector/ticker impact
- Building a focused open watchlist before the bell — without a 30-minute scroll
Key safeguards
- No buy/sell advice or speculative price targets
- Stories verified against 2+ sources before High-impact tagging
- Explicit Confirmed / Developing / Contradictory confidence labels
- Thin overnight news is stated plainly — Low-impact stories are not inflated
Example output
Market Open Thesis: "Futures point higher despite an escalating US-Iran conflict, as markets read the Houthi blockade threat as already priced in, while oil pulled back from recent highs overnight."
Top 5 Spotlight:
- US-Iran conflict escalates — High impact, Verified, Bearish energy/airlines, Bullish defense
- Oil pulls back from one-month high — High impact, Verified, Mixed
- Nikkei surges on AI-stock rebound — Medium impact, Verified, Bullish US semiconductors
- Gold holds near $4,000/oz — Medium impact, Verified, Bearish signal for risk appetite
- European indices mixed — Low-Medium impact, Verified, Neutral

Run the daily briefing, but if overnight flow is thin, keep the spotlight short and say so explicitly rather than padding with Low-impact stories.
Why use it
Most news tools dump a headline firehose. This Agent ranks stories by US market impact, maps each one to a concrete sector or ticker "so what," explains the causal chain with historical precedent, and flags reliability — so you spend less time scanning overnight news and more time acting on what actually matters at the open.
