Read the market's mood before it moves.

FinSentiment is an app that reads global financial market news with transformer-based AI and turns it into clear, explainable sentiment signals — helping investors and small businesses make better-informed decisions.

The problem

Markets react to news in seconds. No person can read it all — and simple keyword tools miss what the words really mean.

Too much news

Earnings calls, filings and economic briefings arrive constantly, across every market.

Keyword tools miss context

Lexicon-based methods count words; they can't tell "beat expectations" from "missed expectations" in context.

Small players lose out

Large institutions have analyst teams. Individual investors and small businesses usually don't.

How it works

From headline to signal — sentence by sentence.

What it reads

Tested across the news that moves markets.

The model was evaluated across multiple classes of financial events.

Earnings calls

What management says about results and outlook — and how confident it sounds.

Regulatory disclosures

Official filings and announcements that companies are required to publish.

Macroeconomic briefings

Economic news — interest rates, inflation, growth — that moves whole markets.

Explainability

Never a black box.

Every signal shows its reasoning, so users can see exactly which words drove the sentiment.

  • SHAP value tracingMeasures how much each word or feature contributed to the final sentiment.
  • Attention visualsShows where the transformer "looked" in the text when it decided.
  • Fine-grained, sentence-levelInterprets each sentence on its own, even under market volatility.

Frequently asked questions

What does FinSentiment do?

It analyses financial market news with AI and classifies its sentiment as positive, neutral or negative, with an explanation of which words drove each result.

Which AI models does it use?

Transformer-based financial language models — FinBERT and RoBERTa-fin — trained on annotated financial text, with event flags and temporal sentiment tracking.

How accurate is it?

In research testing, sentiment classification accuracy was consistently above 96.8%, with an F1-score of 0.94 — 5.0–5.9% more accurate than lexicon-based and traditional machine learning models.

Does sentiment really relate to prices?

The research found a peak correlation of 0.71 between detected sentiment and price movement. Correlation is a useful signal, but it is not a guarantee of future prices.

Is this investment advice?

No. FinSentiment provides information to support decisions. It is not financial advice, and investment decisions remain the user's own responsibility.
