Reading the news feed

The headline feed above pulls from the same wire services and finance publications that professional desks read — Reuters, Bloomberg, the major exchanges, and a long tail of regional outlets. Stories are ordered by recency and by the trading symbols they reference, so a single corporate announcement may appear in several feeds at once. Click a headline to open the full article on the publisher's site; tickers.info does not republish or rewrite the underlying content.

For company-specific coverage, the dedicated ticker pages show news filtered to a single symbol — useful when researching one stock without the noise of the broader feed. The Markets and Screener pages stay quiet on news; they are for prices and filters rather than narrative.

A note on interpretation: a single headline does not move a fundamentally sound business, and a quiet news day does not mean nothing has changed. Earnings releases, regulatory filings and central bank decisions tend to matter more than the daily ticker of headlines. The economic calendar below highlights the scheduled events that markets are most likely to react to.

Using the economic calendar

The calendar lists scheduled economic releases by country, time and expected importance. Each row typically shows the previous reading, the consensus forecast, and the actual figure once it is published. A surprise — actual versus consensus — is usually what matters; markets price the consensus in advance, so meeting expectations is rarely the news.

Three categories of events tend to dominate:

• Macro indicators — inflation reports (CPI, PCE), employment data (non-farm payrolls, unemployment), GDP, manufacturing surveys (PMI, ISM). These shape expectations for growth and for central-bank policy.
• Central-bank decisions — interest-rate decisions and the press conferences that follow them. The Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan are the most-watched.
• Corporate earnings — quarterly results from listed companies. Earnings season clusters into a few weeks each quarter, with mega-caps like the names in the Markets overview drawing the most attention.

Importance flags ("low", "medium", "high") are the data vendor's classification. They are a useful filter, but they are not infallible — a "low" item in a quiet week can move markets if it shifts a narrative. For a deeper look at the metrics behind earnings reports, see the fundamentals primer; for a way to systematically narrow the universe down to specific kinds of companies before earnings season, the screener guide covers the workflow end to end.
