Does financial news predict prices? We checked, source by source.
AIamond rates which market each article is about and which way it points, then compares that with the real price move. So far, no rated source is distinguishable from chance.
Is this another AI stock-picking tool?
No. AIamond makes no forecasts and gives no trading advice. It only reads what published news says and later checks it against the real price, with a correction for testing many sources at once. It is a free hobby project with no revenue; see every source's record, unedited, at /how-reliable-is.

Collect
We fetch articles from publishers' own financial news feeds in English and German, on a staggered schedule throughout the day.

We Check the News Against the Price
Every headline’s tone is checked against the later price move. That record is public, for every source.
The finding so far: headline tone alone does not call the next move better than chance. That is why AIamond shows you what the news says, not what the price will do.
