Skill: Market News Brief

When to use

• - The user wants to understand current market sentiment and news trends.
• The user wants broad market news and macro tone for a region or country.
• The user asks "what's happening in the market?" or "any market news today?"
• The user asks about US markets, European markets, Asian markets, or global markets.
• The user wants a news digest before making a trading or investment decision.

When NOT to use

• - The user wants the current price of a specific stock → use INLINECODE0
• The user wants fundamentals (P/E, EPS, margins) for a company → use INLINECODE1
• The user wants a full equity research report → use INLINECODE2

⚠️ Critical: Scope Words Only

This skill takes a market scope word as its argument — NOT a company ticker.
Passing AAPL, TSLA, or any bare ticker symbol will cause an error.
Always map the user's intent to a scope word from the table below.

Valid Scopes

Commands

Get broad market news

CODEBLOCK0

Examples

CODEBLOCK1

Output

The command returns a formatted summary including:

• - Index / ETF snapshot for the selected scope (price, change, % change)
• Market tone assessment (risk-on / risk-off / neutral)
• Dominant news themes (e.g. Central banks, Inflation, Tech, Energy, Geopolitics)
• Top headlines with source, publish timestamp, and link

Notes

• - Uses uv run internally — no manual pip install or venv setup needed.
• Do NOT pass a bare company ticker (e.g. AAPL) — it will error. Use scope words only.
• For a user asking about a German stock like RHM.DE, use EUROPE or GERMANY for market context.
• Do NOT use web search or curl to fetch market news — always use this script.
• Do NOT use the market-news.sh wrapper — call uv run src/main.py directly as shown above.
