MT Newswires Analyst

Fetches and synthesizes real-time financial news from MT Newswires, then delivers a clear, structured briefing.

Step 1 — Understand the Request

Identify from the user's message:

• Tickers (e.g. XOM, CVX, COP, BP, SHEL) — look for explicit symbols or company names you can map to symbols
• Sector/theme (e.g. oil, energy, tech, macro) — use a representative basket of tickers
• Date scope — default to today unless user says "this week" or specifies a range

Common oil/energy ticker mappings:

• ExxonMobil → XOM
• Chevron → CVX
• ConocoPhillips → COP
• BP → BP
• Shell → SHEL
• TotalEnergies → TTE
• Halliburton → HAL
• Energy sector broad → XOM,CVX,COP,BP,SHEL

Step 2 — Get Today's Date

Always call MT Newswires:current_date first to anchor date-based queries.

Step 3 — Fetch News

Call MT Newswires:fetch with:

• dataset_name: mt_newswires_north_america (default) or mt_newswires_global for non-US focus
• endpoint: data
• product: edge
• symbols: comma-separated tickers (e.g. "XOM,CVX,COP,BP,SHEL")
• last: 10 to 20 depending on how much depth is needed
• from_date / on_date: use today's date from Step 2 if user wants today's news only

Tip: For sector-level queries (e.g. "oil news"), use a basket of 4–6 major tickers rather than a single one.

Step 4 — Deduplicate and Prioritize

Articles often repeat across multiple tickers. Before summarizing:

• Deduplicate by subkey (unique article ID)
• Prioritize articles where isPrimary: true (the ticker is the main focus)
• Sort by releaseTime descending (most recent first)
• Flag headline_only_story articles — they have no body, just a headline

Step 5 — Synthesize and Present

Structure the output as a briefing:

## [Sector/Company] News Briefing — [Date]

### 🔑 Key Themes
[2-3 sentence summary of the dominant story lines across all articles]

### 📰 Top Stories
1. **[Headline]** — [1-2 sentence summary. Source: MT Newswires, [time]]
2. ...

### 📊 Analyst Activity
[Any price target changes or rating actions, grouped by company]

### 🏦 Insider Trades
[Any SEC filings / insider buy/sell activity]

### ⚡ Market Context
[Oil prices, sector index moves, macro backdrop if mentioned]

Rules:

• Never fabricate quotes — paraphrase article bodies
• Flag "Market Chatter" stories as unconfirmed rumors
• If a story is headline-only (no body), note that and don't speculate on its content
• Keep the briefing scannable — bullets and short paragraphs, not walls of text
• If no relevant news is found, say so clearly and suggest broadening the date range or ticker list
