- Silver -2.79%
- Gold -1.35%
- Bitcoin -1.23%
Change over the 3 hours after this story was first indexed by PageNews. Markets move for many reasons at once and this records only what happened alongside — it is not a claim that this story caused any of it.
Measured by PageNews from the headline only, not from the full articles. Scores describe word choice and emphasis; the percentage beside each is confidence, which is separate from the score and lower when there was less text to read. How this is measured.
