The Fed Watch RSS feed contains news about the Federal Reserve. Some traders, particularly bond and stock traders follow Federal Reserve Activity and try to quickly detect any sign of a potential increase or decrease in the Fed target rate.
Here are some examples of Fed news that appeared on July 9, 2010 and that are downloaded by this Fed Watch object:
- Because if the Fed Knows How to Do One Thing, It's How to Have Meetings
- What can the Fed do to help recovery?
- Federal Reserve presidents Hoenig, Fisher say no more stimulus needed
For each Federal Reserve News, the date, title, description, category and link are stored in an intraday database called "fed_watch". This database can be accessed by the vector-based language of this trading software or by the custom trading indicators tools to create for example a news sentiment indicator or to calculate the number of Fed news that contains a given keyword or set of keywords for each trading day.
The category field of the database contains the news item provider. Providers include Sound Money, Corporate Council, Denver Post, Nasdaq, CNBC, Yahoo, FoxBusiness.com, BusinessWeek, Institutional Investor, Market Watch, UPI, Mother Jones, Washington Post and Reuters.
The data is downloaded from an RSS feed provided by Congoo website. ^FED_WATCH is the ticker symbol that is associated with the Feed news data. The close price of this symbol is always equal to one. I have created this symbol so that Federal Reserve news can be stored under a unique symbol and can therefore be easily accessed and displayed.
