Terminal-grade news. A $0 price tag.
SquawkNews is a real-time financial news agency. We deliver the same class of market-moving information that flashes on Bloomberg Terminal and LSEG (Refinitiv) Workspace - central banks, official statistics, SEC filings, earnings, sanctions, geopolitics - without the institutional contract. Built by traders, for traders.
Currently free - full access, no card, no seat license.
Market-moving news does not belong to any terminal. It comes from the primary record: central bank decisions, official statistics, SEC filings, corporate releases, government schedules and professional wire reporting. SquawkNews connects to these sources directly, normalizes every headline with AI, scores its market impact, deduplicates it across sources, and publishes it to your screen and your ear in seconds - the same catalysts institutions read, minus the legacy terminal stack that makes them cost $30,000 a year.
Central banks, statistical agencies, SEC EDGAR, exchange data, official schedules and live wire connectors - not reposted social rumors.
Collect, normalize, score, deduplicate, publish. An automated edge pipeline instead of a 40-year-old terminal architecture - that is where the cost difference comes from.
SquawkNews was built by people who trade the news, not license it. Every screen answers one question: what just happened, and does it move my market?
Bloomberg and LSEG are exceptional platforms: execution, analytics, chat, decades of data. But if what you need is the news layer - the headlines that reprice markets - you are paying for a skyscraper to use the lobby.

Competitor pricing reflects widely reported market estimates for full institutional seats and may vary by contract. Bloomberg® and LSEG/Refinitiv® are trademarks of their respective owners; SquawkNews is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
Futures, FX, equities, rates, crypto. Keep eyes on the chart - high-impact headlines reach your ear through the audio squawk while the market is still moving.
A clean, searchable, impact-scored tape with filings and macro context - without adding another five-figure seat to the budget.
Terminal-grade catalysts for streams, newsletters and market recaps - sourced, timestamped and archived, so your content stands on facts.
A professional market wire to monitor, quote and build on - with an archive trail from headline back to source.
We are a real-time financial news agency: headlines, macro, politics, filings, schedules, archive, audio.
We are free today. When a subscription arrives, it will stay a small fraction of institutional pricing - and current users will be told first.
We are not a replacement for Bloomberg's execution, analytics or IB chat. If you need an OMS, you need a terminal.
We are not financial advice. We publish facts and context - what you trade is your call.
Yes. Full access is currently free - no card, no trial timer, no seat license. A paid subscription will be introduced later, and it will stay a small fraction of institutional terminal pricing.
Market-moving headlines come from the same underlying reality: central bank decisions, official statistics, SEC filings, corporate releases and wire reporting. We collect those primary and professional sources through a low-latency automated pipeline instead of a legacy terminal stack - so the news layer doesn't need a $30,000-per-year price tag.
Live wire connectors, official APIs, central banks, statistical agencies, SEC EDGAR, exchange data and government schedules. Every card keeps its source history and latency trace.
No. SquawkNews publishes factual information and context. It does not give buy or sell recommendations.
Open the news for the cleanest tape, the Terminal for market context, Macro for country data - and judge the feed against whatever you pay for today.
