financial-news is an AWS Strands AgentCore sample skill that helps developers build agents fetching stock quotes, price history, and financial news to answer investor questions via tool calls.
About
financial-news is an agent skill from aws-samples/sample-strands-agent-with-agentcore for market-data agents built with Strands Agents and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. It exposes three tools: stock_quote for live ticker metrics, stock_history for chartable price series with default 1mo periods spanning 1mo, 3mo, 6mo, 1y, and 5y, and financial_news for latest articles by symbol. The sample repo demonstrates multi-agent orchestration, AgentCore Runtime execution, Gateway MCP tool integration, and finance analysis workflows alongside browser and search agents. Use financial-news when prototyping finance copilots that must ground answers in live quotes and headlines instead of hallucinating market data.
