FX Impact Intelligence
Identifying important events which have a short-term impact on currency markets.
Problem
Making smart trading decisions means staying on top of relevant market events in real time and evaluating their impact on global currencies. Constant monitoring of these events, especially breaking news, can be a challenge even for the most experienced FX professionals as only a small proportion of events impact the FX market.
Solution
LSEG Labs created the FX Impact Intelligence app to help FX professionals stay on top of the important events impacting currency pairs throughout the day.
Before performing impact analysis, the app uses rules based and machine learning models to filter for FX market related events. Each FX market news cluster then passes through an impact analysis model which identifies currency price jumps and impact trends based on the similar characteristics of historical news events.
The LSEG Labs project covers 15 currency pairs and is powered by a number of trusted Refinitiv data sets, including News and Tick History data.
