JPMorgan debuts AI model used to decipher Fed speeches for potential trading signals

April 28,  2023

JPMorgan Chase has revealed an AI-powered tool that analyses Federal Reserve comments to identify potential trading signals.

The tool uses ChatGPT to assess the tone of policy signals from remarks made by the central bank, analyzing statements from the past 25 years.

According to Bloomberg, JPMorgan economists used the model to rate comments on a scale from easy to restrictive, referring to the gauge as the "Hawk-Dove Score."

In addition to identifying potential trading signals, the tool can also predict changes in central bank tightening.

Joseph Lupton and other colleagues at JPMorgan wrote in a recent note that the preliminary applications of the Hawk-Dove Score are encouraging.

The tool is not only limited to the Federal Reserve, as it can also be used for the Bank of England and the European Central Bank.

Furthermore, the Hawk-Dove Score is set to expand to 30 other central banks in the near future.
