Abstract

This paper introduces a visualisation technique to help analyse large sets of financial data. The dataset used consists of price and news headlines for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and related companies for several weeks prior to the height of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). Our visualisation can help analysts to uncover relationships between news headlines that can convey meaning about trader sentiment, and their influence on stock prices. This information is displayed visually in an interactive and animated Microsoft Excel dashboard consisting of three charts. Improvements in scalability and performance over previous techniques enables concurrent analysis of stock prices and news headlines from large datasets. A video screen capture is available to showcase our system.
