News2Market Actor

Analyzes news to determine its short-term and long-term impact on specific market segments. Instead of simple sentiment, it provides structured reasoning on how a news item affects industries, sectors, or ecosystems. It's designed for tracking thematic trends and sector dynamics, not for making single-company predictions.

Key Features

• Sector & Industry Focus: Evaluates impacts on the total market, economic sectors (e.g., Energy, IT), or specific ecosystems (e.g., Semiconductors, AI).
• Structured Reasoning: Provides clear positive/negative calls with explanations based on macro levers like demand, supply, policy, and cost.
• Dual Timeframe Analysis: Delivers separate short-term (ST) and long-term (LT) impact assessments.
• Actionable Outputs: Links findings to relevant sector/industry ETFs and funds for easy alignment.
• Trend Tracking: Each run saves a dataset item, enabling cumulative historical analysis and visualization over time.

How to Use

Send a POST request to the actor's API endpoint with a JSON payload. The actor will process the news and return a structured analysis.

Input

The input must be a JSON object with the following schema:

{
  "news": "Your news headline, summary, full article text, or a URL to a single news article.",
  "target": 1
}

• news (string, required): The content to analyze. Can be a URL, headline, summary, or full article text (≤ 8000 characters). Note: URL-based article extraction is not guaranteed.
• target (integer, required): The "lens" or market segment for analysis.
  • 0: Total Market
  • 1: Economic Sectors
  • 10-40, 100-110: Specific sectors/ecosystems (e.g., 12 for AI, 103 for Energy, 107 for IT).

Output

The result is a JSON object saved to the Apify Key-Value Store (OUTPUT) and pushed to the default dataset. It includes the analyzed target, timestamp, the processed news text, and structured impact summaries.
