Pull Market Sentiment Data
Access VIX volatility levels, consumer sentiment surveys, and Commitment of Traders positioning data.
Quick answer: Use the Finance Data tool through ToolRouter to pull market sentiment data directly from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw — connect once, then drive it with plain-language prompts. No code required.
ToolPrice data tells you what happened. Sentiment data tells you why — and often, what is about to happen next. The VIX measures market fear. Consumer sentiment surveys reveal spending intentions. The Commitment of Traders report shows how large institutional players are positioned. Together, they give a reading of market psychology that price alone cannot provide.
Finance Data brings these together in one place. VIX levels update in real time, consumer sentiment surveys reflect the latest release, and the COT report covers current positioning across futures markets.
Macro traders, risk managers, and investment analysts use sentiment data to calibrate risk appetite, time entries, and understand whether market moves are driven by genuine conviction or short-term positioning.

Claude retrieves sentiment indicators and weaves them into a coherent picture of market psychology. It cross-references VIX levels with COT positioning to identify whether volatility is matched by institutional hedging, and connects consumer sentiment to spending and growth implications — going beyond individual data points to a unified sentiment view.
How to pull market sentiment data
Once connected (see setup above), use the Finance Data tool — the same steps work with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, OpenClaw, and any MCP client:
- Ask Claude: "What is the current VIX level and how does it compare to the 30-day average?"
- Claude returns VIX data with context
- Ask: "Pull the latest consumer sentiment reading and explain what it implies"
- Ask: "What does the current COT report show about S&P 500 futures positioning?"
Example prompt
Try this with the Finance Data tool
Pull the current VIX level, latest consumer sentiment reading, and COT positioning for S&P 500 futures. What does the combined sentiment picture suggest about current market conditions?
Tips
- Ask for VIX levels at key historical stress periods to put today's reading in context
- COT reports release weekly — ask if the data is current to avoid acting on stale positioning
- Combine sentiment data with price action: low VIX plus bullish positioning can signal complacency
