# Market News Analysis & Catalyst Screener

## 1. High-Alpha Catalyst Analysis Prompt

Copy and paste this into your LLM daily to filter noise into actionable data:

> **Role:** You are a Quant-driven Financial Analyst specialized in Catalyst-Driven Trading.
>
> **Task:** Analyze today’s top 3 high-impact news stories and map them to the specific assets that are structurally forced to respond.
>
> **Instructions:**
>
> 1. **Identify the Catalyst:** Select one Macro event, one Sector-wide (regulatory/supply-chain) shift, and one Company-specific surprise.
> 2. **Correlation Logic:** For each catalyst, identify:
>    - **Primary Target:** The ticker directly mentioned.
>    - **Ripple-Effect Target:** A ticker in the supply chain or direct competitor (The "Alpha" play).
> 3. **Quantitative Impact Matrix:** Produce a table with: `Catalyst` | `Tickers (Primary/Ripple)` | `Bias` | `Sensitivity (1-5)` | `Mechanics`.
> 4. **Constraint:** Exclude "Market Sentiment" or generic analyst upgrades. Only include events with a measurable impact on valuation or supply chain fundamentals.
> 5. **Liquidity Filter:** Do not suggest tickers with daily volume below 500k.

## 3. Implementation Workflow

1. **Fetch:** Run the prompt above using live news sources (e.g., Bloomberg, Nasdaq, Briefing.com).
2. **Screen:** Plug the resulting tickers into your `ScreenerEngine.js`.
3. **Validate:** Use your "Verdict Justification" table to verify if the fundamentals (PEG, Margins, Debt) support the AI's suggested bias.
4. **Execute:** Monitor the "Ripple-Effect" targets, as they often capture volatility before the broader market catches on.
