A primary focus of Western Asset news analysis is to determine if its current price reflects all relevant headlines and social signals impacting the current market conditions. A news analyst typically looks at the history of Western Asset relative headlines and hype rather than examining external drivers such as technical or fundamental data. It is believed that price action tends to repeat itself due to investors' collective, patterned thinking related to Western Asset's headlines and news coverage data. This data is often completely overlooked or insufficiently analyzed for actionable insights to drive Western Asset alpha.
