How to Stay Informed Without the Noise

Financial news is 90% noise. Headlines are designed to provoke emotion, not inform decisions. The smart approach: check the data first (Nifty level, FII/DII flows, VIX, breadth), then read the narrative (regime context, sector rotation, causal chains). Data provides the framework. Narrative fills in the details. This order prevents the common mistake of letting a scary headline override the data.
