Sentiment analysis using automatically labelled financial news
نویسندگان
چکیده
Given a corpus of financial news labelled according to the market reaction following their publication, we investigate cotemporeneous and forward-looking price stock movements. Our approach is to provide a pool of relevant textual features to a machine learning algorithm to detect substantial stock price variations. Our two working hypotheses are that the market reaction to a news is a good indicator for labelling financial news, and that a machine learning algorithm can be trained on those news to build models detecting price movement effectively.

From our comparisons we found that news articles of a subjective nature were easier to predict in both price direction (59.0% vs 50.4% without sentiment) and through a simple trading engine (3.30% return vs 2.41% without sentiment). Looking into sentiment further, we found t...
