How to talk about markets?

Freshman here. I tend to start talking about macroeconomics more rather than actually connecting it to the market. A lot of feedback from upperclassmen who have interviewed me is to go beyond headlines when talking but I'm honestly lost, and don't know where to start. Do i connect specific events to an industry? I find it difficult to know how specific I should go.
