About Global Market News

Breaking news from the world's markets.

Global Market News reports the stories moving world markets as they break: stocks, bonds, currencies, energy, crypto and the companies and economies behind them.

We write for readers who want the news fast and clear, without jargon: investors, business owners, finance professionals and anyone who wants to know what happened and why it matters.

What you'll find here

  • Breaking news: short, sourced reports on market-moving events, updated through the day.
  • Why it matters: every story opens with a few lines on what the news means.
  • Markets in this story: the prices behind each article, labeled with the time they apply to.
  • Sections for markets, the economy, companies, energy, crypto and world news.

How we work

Every article links to its sources. How we gather market figures, and their limits, is explained on how we source market data. Our process, including how we use technology in research and drafting, is described in our editorial standards.

Ownership

Global Market News is privately owned. If we ever publish content that involves a company connected to our owners, we will say so clearly in that piece. See our disclosures.
