ChatGPT just got even more promising. Two separate studies recently found that OpenAI's ChatGPT can decode Federal Reserve statements and forecast stock market trends based on the headlines it reads, Markets Insider reports.
Decoding Federal Reserve Statements with AI
Deciphering Federal Reserve statements or Fedspeak can be difficult at times due to their use of technical jargon and economic terms. In addition, economic data such as inflation, unemployment, and GDP growth complicate these releases even further.
The first study, conducted by Richmond Fed researchers, assessed ChatGPT-3 and GPT-4's ability to decode the language used in Federal Reserve policy statements.
The AI was instructed to categorize 500 sentences into five groups: dovish, mostly dovish, neutral, mostly hawkish, and hawkish.
ChatGPT outperformed BERT, a language model commonly used in finance, even without prior training, and was closely aligned with how human reviewers classified the sentences.
Furthermore, AI was able to provide reasonable justifications for its decisions, which was a remarkable feat.
Monitoring Market Trends with AI
Staying up to date on financial news and media outlets such as Bloomberg, CNBC, Reuters, and The Wall Street Journal requires constant monitoring.
These platforms provide in-depth coverage of the stock market, economic indicators, and global developments that may influence market trends.
However, understanding the implications of these headlines for marketing trends at a glance can be challenging.
The second study, conducted by the University of Florida researchers, tested ChatGPT's predictive power in response to financial headlines beginning in October 2021.
The goal was to see how news could move stock without knowing what actually happened. According to the findings, there is a strong correlation between ChatGPT responses and stock market movements.
For example, the authors requested that ChatGPT make investment recommendations based on the headline "Rimini Street Fined $630,000 in Case Against Oracle." The AI predicted that the ruling would boost investor trust in Oracle, potentially improving its ability to protect its intellectual property.

ChatGPT's predictive capabilities, according to the researchers, could have far-reaching implications for the finance industry, such as assisting investors in making better-informed decisions and helping financial analysts in their work.
However, they warn that more research is needed to fully understand AI's capabilities and limitations.
Bloomberg's Take on the Technology
Bloomberg, a leading financial news organization, is planning to launch a novel artificial intelligence (AI) model focused on finance based on OpenAI's GPT.
Bloomberg GPT can answer financial questions accurately and determine whether news headlines are bullish or bearish for investors.
This dataset contains financial data compiled by Bloomberg over the last 40 years, including securities filings, press releases, Bloomberg News stories, stories from other publications, and a plethora of other financial language documents, as well as a web crawl focused on financial web pages.
What's Next for AI?
OpenAI's ChatGPT has recently received attention for its remarkable language capabilities, and these studies show yet another application for this technology.
ChatGPT is likely to see more innovative applications as researchers continue to explore its potential.
