Professional audio squawk and headline feed reading market-moving news aloud in real time, around the clock on weekdays, at $350 a month per person.
What it is
LiveSquawk is a London-based squawk service: presenters read breaking headlines and short commentary aloud as they happen, so traders can listen while watching charts instead of scanning news. It broadcasts 24 hours a day from Sunday to Friday, from desks in Europe and Asia, and covers equities, fixed income, FX, commodities and policymakers across more than 120 countries. Alongside the audio there is a scrolling text headline feed filterable by tags such as macro, policymaker, FX, commodity and world events.
Subscribers also get written round-ups in the morning, afternoon and evening, daily and weekly economic calendars, and previews of major data releases, central bank events and earnings, plus summaries of bank desk research and investor commentary. A Market Talk podcast is published free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.
Pricing is aimed at professionals: $350 (or £275) per person per month, or $3,850 (£3,025) per person paid once a year. There is a free 7-day trial with no card required. Annual subscriptions are not refunded pro rata if you cancel mid-term. The audio runs in a web browser player using WebRTC, so a stable connection and a supported browser matter.
