  • Predicting stock returns using large language models

    Text is an underexploited data source for understanding asset markets. So far, academic research has studied only a tiny fraction of market-relevant text data and often focuses on a single specialised data source. As a result, text information is often represented in rudimentary ways. This report summarises a study that aims to improve stock-return prediction models by extracting contextualised representations of news text derived from large language models (LLMs).

  • 5G: Hype vs reality in 2023

    In 2019, Forbes said the race to deploy 5G reflected a geopolitical rivalry that would determine political and economic fortunes for decades. Amid rising tensions between the US and China, Donald Trump declared “the race to 5G is a race that America must win”. Fast-forwarding to today, we outline the real 5G timeline, reasons for the slow rollout and alternative datasets that investors can use to monitor the space.

  • Evaluating the impact of ETFs on emerging markets

    The growth of ETF investments has coincided with the growing sensitivity of emerging market capital flows to global financial shocks. To date, the majority of studies on the subject have focused on the importance of ETFs relative to competitive instruments (e.g. mutual funds). However, only a few have examined the correlation between emerging market ETF flows and global financial shocks. We review a study that examines the role of ETFs in transmitting global financial conditions to emerging market economies.

  • Renewables – datasets and trends

    Conflict in Ukraine, increased attention around the climate crisis, and China’s recent lead in EV production have fuelled concerns around global energy security and the green transition. In the US, the Biden administration has demonstrated its commitment through the Inflation Reduction Act, allocating $369bn to energy security and climate change. As the energy transition accelerates, we summarise the alternative data marketplace across renewables.

  • Monitoring China’s EV sector through battery production data

    China’s automobile exports surpassed Japan's for the first time in 1H23, making it the largest car exporter in the period. Electric vehicles, accounting for around a third, were the main driver of growth. Considering China produces 60% of the world’s motive batteries used to power EVs and interest we receive at Neudata on this topic, this report highlights datasets to help monitor China’s lithium-ion battery supply chain.
