Interpretation & Use

The macro_news_summary indicator offers a "digestible" layer of qualitative context — ideal for AI agents and automations that need to understand the prevailing narrative. • **Bullish sentiment** → Optimism, improving risk appetite. • **Bearish sentiment** → Defensive positioning, rising caution. • **Neutral sentiment** → Balanced or mixed signals. By monitoring shifts in sentiment_score and general_sentiment over time, agents can adjust reasoning models or trigger alerts when macro tone transitions from optimism to caution (or vice versa).
