Bloomberg
bloomberg.com
Global business and markets news from one of the largest financial newsrooms, with Bloomberg TV, podcasts and newsletters behind a paid subscription.
What it is
Bloomberg.com is the consumer news site of Bloomberg, covering stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, economics, technology and politics worldwide. Market pages show index, rate, commodity and currency quotes alongside the news, and the site carries opinion columns, video and audio.
A digital subscription unlocks unlimited articles on the website and the Bloomberg News apps, live streaming of Bloomberg TV, videos and podcasts, audio versions of featured articles, and subscriber-only newsletters. Without one, most articles sit behind the paywall. The Annual + Businessweek Print plan adds the print magazine, and a separate tech newsletter bundle is sold on its own.
For traders, Bloomberg's value is breaking macro and corporate news and in-depth reporting, not trading tools. It has no screeners, flow or charting to speak of. The Bloomberg Terminal, the professional data and trading system used by institutions, is a separate product and is not included in a Bloomberg.com subscription.
