How it works. Every morning an AI model reads the UK business news about each FTSE 100 company and scores how good or bad it is for the company, from −10 to +10. Pages update by about 07:45 UK time.

Not investment advice. MarketFrame rates the tone of news coverage. It is general information, not a recommendation to buy or sell anything. The scores are not share-price data or forecasts: a good score doesn't mean a share will rise, and a bad one doesn't mean it will fall.
