This dataset quantifies hawkish and dovish headline volumes in financial media and maps them to the effective Fed Funds Rate from Jan 2018 to Jul 2025 (Chair Powell’s tenure). Using keyword-filtered, time-stamped headlines as a proxy for tone, it tracks sentiment volume (frequency and dominance of narratives) and overlays those dynamics against realised policy. What it shows Lead–lag behaviour: Dovish surges often precede easing (e.g., 2020 crisis), while hawkish momentum typically builds alongside inflation data into 2022–23 tightening. Narrative regimes: Blue (dovish) vs red (hawkish) bars reveal regime shifts where tone turns before action. Policy alignment: The Fed Funds Rate (black line) anchors sentiment to policy outcomes, clarifying when media tone diverges from guidance. How to use it Early-warning signals: Monitor shifts in sentiment volume as leading indicators of potential Fed pivots. Scenario design: Pair narrative momentum with CPI, labour prints, and term premium for policy path scenarios. Cross-asset testing: Examine lead–lag impacts on equities, USD, gold, and the curve around FOMC windows. Risk controls: Trigger pre-event hedges when narrative pressure materially diverges from the Fed’s stance. 2025 read-through Rising dovish pressure despite a 4.25–4.50% hold, growing internal Fed dispersion, and political noise indicate a widening sentiment–policy gap— historically a precursor to policy inflection.
