Moves are measured against the price two minutes before each headline crossed, using validated 1-minute bars captured at publish time. A dash means no bar was available for that window. Reaction pending means the measuring window for that headline is still open. Not attributed means the headline does not name the company the move was measured on, so we hold the number back. Times are New York ET. Headlines appear here 1 minute after they cross the live tape.
