How the index is made
Every headline Pulsarium collects from public sources is scored as positive, negative or neutral and given an importance from 0 to 100 (by a language model when available, otherwise by keyword rules). Macro and geopolitical context without a direct market target is left out, and so are sales pitches ("3 stocks to buy now"). The same story counts once, and one company counts with at most 3 headlines, so a single company's news can't swing the day; market-wide news (indices, rates, crypto) is never capped. Positive headlines count +1 and negative −1, each weighted by 1 + importance/50, and the weighted average is mapped to 0–100. Past days use the whole day; the latest value uses the last 12 hours, so it follows the day as it turns. Days with fewer than 10 market headlines get no value.
The index describes the tone of news coverage, not prices, and is not investment advice. The full history is available as JSON; please link to this page if you use it.
