How Often Are Financial News Sources Right?
We check the tone of every headline against the later price move — and compare each source with chance.
Of 44 sources with enough data, none is measurably better than chance.
Chance: how often the same mix of up, down and sideways calls would be right if shuffled against the same price moves.

How often the news was right
Each source’s hit rate, compared with chance
Our Methodology
AI classifies each article's tone as up, down or sideways for the market it covers. After 1, 3 and 7 days we check the actual price move. A source's hit rate is compared with chance for the same mix of calls and outcomes; a verdict needs at least 300 checks and a gap of 5 percentage points. AIamond makes no forecasts of its own.
