Why the stock market needs psychics is beyond me. They already have
their own well-established mediums of the money, those who practice
so-called "technical analysis". This is the widespread belief that
where the market is going can be predicted by seeing where it went,

In addition, stock-market reports are the world's main source of
correlation/causation confusion.  Nearly every news story about the
stock market contains a blithe causal statement about what drove the
day's trading activity.  Usually in the headline.
