News Impact

The news comes from a checked base, with the exact time it came out and links to the sources. For macro data (inflation, the labour market, Fed decisions) you also see what analysts expected, with a link to the publication.

The markets come one at a time, each with its own chart: bitcoin and gold — hourly candles for 3 days before the news; US stocks, bonds, the dollar and oil — daily values for 20 days. You choose “up” or “down” and see straight away what happened: bitcoin and gold over the 24 hours after the news, the rest over the day of the news.

After each answer — what happened, where the market should have gone “by the textbook” (how such news is usually read) and why. Sometimes the textbook gives no clear direction: for example, a decision everyone expected is already priced in. After the last market — a summary. No XP here: this is practice in understanding news, not a game for points.
