This workflow helps you monitor political news for potential market-moving events before the US trading day begins. You can customize the source RSS feeds, the specific keywords (such as tariffs, inflation, or regulation), and the target Slack channel for alerts. It uses automated scripts to fetch and filter news from top outlets like Reuters and CNBC, then formats the findings into a professional financial brief. In this example, the workflow scans for political statements regarding trade and interest rates, identifies affected sectors and tickers like SPY or QQQ, and sends a structured report to Slack every weekday at 8 AM ET. It also automatically detects US market holidays to ensure alerts only arrive when they are actionable.
