Zero-shot NLP fails to predict stock market from news

Researchers have investigated the effectiveness of zero-shot natural language processing models in predicting stock market movements from financial news. Their findings indicate that these models, even with advanced techniques like temporal aggregation and explainability frameworks, consistently fail to outperform basic baselines. The study highlights significant limitations in mapping news sentiment to short-term price dynamics, particularly for negative movements. However, the explainability features developed in the research proved valuable in distinguishing reliable predictions from unreliable ones, suggesting a path toward more transparent decision-support systems.
