Investing is a key source of financial security. To understand the stock market, one must spend valuable time and resources researching stock market analysis and headlines to understand where to invest. For our group project, we created an Interactive News Analytics Dashboard that aggregates and analyzes financial news articles in real-time. This dashboard will allow users to explore news articles by company and provide visualizations such as sentiment trends or network graphs to help users understand the impact of news events on the financial markets. Using Streamlit, a python library used for data visualization, allowed us to create our own unique dashboard that will provide a sentimental score on several stocks such as Amazon, Tesla, Google, Microsoft, Apple etc. This interactive dashboard performs data analysis on the financial news that are web scraped from yahoo financial news and saved in the MongoDB database on daily basis. It allows users to understand each of the company stocks to depict high and low scores that would indicate whether these stocks are being positively represented in the news or negatively represented in the news – this helps indicate the stocks general presence in the market. Overall, this interactive dashboard will guide users in deciding which stocks to focus on by giving them the flexibility of searching by a specific stock and date to guide them in their ultimate investment decision.
