We cover US, European, Japanese, and Gulf markets primarily. Emerging-market coverage is limited.
Arabic translation is automated with human review for educational content. Errors may occur in rare terminology.
Tone analysis uses our DLS dictionary system for central banks, and AI models for news. Models may miss sarcasm or nuanced context.
