This study examines the evolving relationship between news topics and stock prices, offering a quantitative analysis of how thematic news coverage influences market volatility. Drawing on a dataset of 90,000 news headlines from the Dow Jones industrial average spanning 2008-2016 and 2018-2023, we classified news into political, technological, entertainment, and other categories, with each theme further divided by sentiment polarity (negative, neutral, and positive). Using Granger causality tests combined with time-period segmentation, we found that certain categories exert significant effects on stock movements within a 1-3 day lag. Specifically, negative entertainment news showed long-term relevance during 2008-2016, while health-related news gained notable importance in 2018-2023, influencing both short- and long-term dynamics; political news likewise revealed strong market-driving potential. To formalize these findings, we introduce a quantitative “topic impact” framework grounded in topic-stock price causality, integrating natural language processing, statistical modeling, and deep learning approaches. Finally, economic validation through backtesting with a multi-factor sentiment strategy demonstrates the framework’s capacity to yield actionable insights for investors.
