How to use Meantly

Meantly reads what leaders, central banks and companies say, and shows what it should do to markets: a number with a horizon, checked against the real price. This guide takes about five minutes.

Start in a minute

Open the Economy desk (the default). Politics and Sport are a tap away.
Read "Most market-moving". The statements with the biggest expected market impact in the last 12 hours, with the full read and grid open for everyone.
On any card, check the three gates: can the speaker act, is the position new, is there a dated catalyst. Then the grid: which markets, which way, how much, by when.
Turn the horizon dial (4 h to 1 month) on any grid; the Sectors page follows it.
Follow up to three speakers with the small + Follow button next to their name.

Reading a post

Every post shows the words first, then what Meantly reads in them.

QuoteThe speaker's own words, from a speech, an official statement or a news report. The headline links to the source.

Meantly readOne or two sentences on the likely intent: what the speaker wants the audience to think, feel or do. It reads rhetoric; it does not check facts.

Tactic chipsThe rhetorical moves found in the text, such as Leverage Us vs. them Threat & fear. See Tactics.

HostilityA 0–10 score. When the speaker has enough history, it is shown against their own norm (for example 4.9 ▲ +3.4 vs their 18-day norm), so a spike means something even for someone who is always loud.

Market driversOn the Economy desk: the pressure (risk-off, risk-on, mixed), the impact level, the one-line driver, and the three gates: ● Acts or no lever, ✦ New or ↻ Repeat, and a catalyst date.

Market impact gridExpected move for each market the statement touches, with confidence and the horizon dial. See Market impact.

GaugesOn the Politics and Sport desks: Deception-style, Market impact and Audience impact. In Decode, for every statement.

Market impact

Every market-relevant statement on the Economy desk is scored against 69 markets: equity sectors (energy, financials, semis, defense…), 19 commodities, 28 currencies, government bond yields and crypto. Each market the statement concretely touches gets:

Direction and range: an expected move in % (basis points for yields), for example Brent ▲ +0.8 to +1.5%.
Horizon: 4 h, 24 h, 3 days, 1 week or 1 month, counted in that market's trading hours. A Sunday statement about US stocks starts its clock at Monday's open.
Confidence 0–100: how likely the market ends the horizon in that direction.
Mechanism: one sentence on why (supply, rates, sanctions, guidance…), shown on hover and on the Sectors page.
Since statement: how the market has actually moved so far, and the result (hit, partial, miss) once the horizon passes.

A hit means the market ended the horizon in the stated direction by at least the low end of the range; partial is the right direction but short of it; miss is the wrong direction or flat. The grid is free on every card. It is a speculative scenario to think with, not advice.

Sectors PRO

Sectors in the top menu nets every statement of the day per market.

Left: all 69 markets with the net expected move at the chosen horizon and window (24 h to 30 days). Filter by category, direction, or search.
Right: one market in full: expected versus actual at every horizon, who moved it (each speaker's calls, direction and hit rate on this market), and every statement with its expected range, confidence and actual move.
Prediction vs market: the record. Hit rate by horizon, market, speaker and speaker type, best and worst read speakers, and the list of every resolved call. Filter by horizon, outcome and category.

Where a market is closed, the page says so; the next resolution time is shown on each call.

The feed

Desks: Economy (central banks, ministers, FX authorities, institutions, companies and the politicians whose statements move markets), Politics and Sport.
Region and sort: My region first shows your region's leaders and the people you follow, then everyone else. Latest shows every post, newest first.
People and groups: tap a name to see only that leader, or a group such as US Senate or 2026 candidates. Following shows only the people you follow.
Groups on the Economy desk: Companies, Central banks, FX authorities, Gulf & energy, Finance ministers, Global institutions, Business leaders.
Filters: Market-moving only, and the type of statement: speech, official statement, quotes in news, or Reported · unnamed sources (a story citing unnamed sources about a tracked organisation, read as unconfirmed).
Midterms 2026: the page in the top menu follows the competitive US races and what each candidate is saying.
Side panels: on the Economy desk the Sector view (Pro) and Policy stance; Audience impact and Hostility over 30 days on every desk.

Decode any text

Paste a speech, a statement or a quote into Decode text. Meantly marks each rhetorical move sentence by sentence and writes a Meantly read. You need a free account; the number of decodes per day depends on your plan.

Signals & markets

The Signals section on the home page shows which rhetoric moved together with which market (S&P 500, Brent and WTI crude, the US 10-year yield, VIX, the dollar, EUR/USD), and which leaders sound most and least alike. The Markets section lists recent market-moving statements. Correlation shows things moving together, not cause; this is not investment advice.

Fear Index

The Meantly Fear Index is one number from 0 to 100 for how much fear leaders are putting into their words right now, from Calm to Extreme fear. It is built from the day's statements by heads of state, ministers, central bankers, legislators, candidates and business leaders; Sport is left out. It measures style, never truth. While the archive is young the index is marked beta.

Where: Fear Index in the top menu, with the change since yesterday and the three statements driving it.
Full page: the index against the VIX and Brent crude, what is driving it, breakdowns by desk and region, a speaker fear pulse (this week against each speaker's own 90-day average) and how it is calculated.
Embed: a free live gauge for newsletters and newsrooms; the code is on the page.
Pro members also see the Meantly read behind each driver.

Research PRO

Report: a summary for any leader, region, language, news source or topic, ready to print.
Search: the full archive of statements with filters.
Reads vs markets: one leader or group, one measure (hostility, market-moving statements or any tactic) against up to four market indicators, with same-day and next-day correlations.
Compare: two or three leaders, groups, regions or parties side by side over time.
Export CSV: every tab downloads its numbers.

Open it from Research in the top menu.

Following & alerts

Follow leaders to see them first in your feed and in Following. Pro members also get an email when someone they follow makes a statement far more hostile than their own norm.

Alerts: tap the bell in the app header to get notifications on this device, no account needed. Choose a Daily digest (the top three reads, once a day) or Major reads (when a big statement lands, at most two a day). The bell does not show on browsers without notification support, such as Safari tabs on iPhone.

Tactics

Tactic	What it does
Leverage	Uses pressure or a bargaining position to get something.
Threat & fear	Raises a danger to push the audience toward a choice.
Us vs. them	Splits the world into an in-group and an out-group.
Labeling	Pins a loaded name on a person or group.
Deflection	Moves attention or blame elsewhere.
Absolutes	"Always", "never", "everyone": no room for nuance.
Self-promotion	Credits the speaker for results.
Vague promise	A commitment with no date, number or plan.
Deniability hedge	Wording that leaves a way to deny it later.
Sincerity insistence	"Believe me", "frankly": asking to be trusted.
Phantom sourcing	"People are saying": a claim with no source.

What Meantly is not

Not a fact-check: it reads how something is said and what it aims for, not whether it is true.
Not advice: expected moves are speculative scenarios to think with, scored in public so you can see where they are worth something. We are not responsible for decisions made on them.
Not an opinion: every leader is read the same way, on every side.
