Catch funding rounds, acquisitions and IPOs
/stories in semantic mode. The parameters matter less
than the reasoning behind them, so that is most of what is below.

&mode=semantic
&from=<now - 48h>Why these parameters
Deal language is formulaic but varied — raises, secures, closes, lands, acquires, takes a stake. Semantic mode covers the variants; a keyword query catches whichever verb you thought of. A short window suits this because deal news is announced rather than developed.
What comes back
Story clusters, typically the announcement plus trade pickup collapsed together.
How this goes wrong
Missing deals announced only in a local language. Add the languages matching the markets you care about — European and Asian deal coverage frequently never appears in English.
