For many investors, financial news is a crucial part of staying on top of the markets. However, making sense of the constant barrage of market-related headlines can be difficult.
In general, financial news reports tend to focus on the overall market and its movements, rather than the movement of individual stocks within it. This can make it challenging for investors to discern between fact and opinion. Fortunately, there are some ways to separate the signal from the noise and keep up with the most important market trends.
