Abstract : We construct an index of market disappointment caused by the content of central bank announcements for the Fed and the ECB by extracting market perceptions reported in leading financial newspapers. We document that disappointment is frequently reported, mostly reflecting the market’s preference for a more accommodative policy stance. Disappointment distinctly impacts the market’s perception of the monetary policy rule, depresses stock prices, and raises volatility in the days after announcements. The reversal patterns found and additional analysis are consistent with an investor-sentiment channel. Overall, our results highlight that emotional responses to monetary policy announcements contain valuable information for understanding financial market dynamics.
