The Brief
Global market intelligence for every session — from the European open to the US close. Futures, indices, and the stories that actually moved markets, in plain language.
Two briefs a day, timed for global investors. The European Session Brief (from 06:00 GMT) covers overnight moves, Asian markets, and where futures are pointing before Wall Street opens. The US Session Brief (from 12:00 GMT) covers live market action, what is driving moves, and what to watch through the close. All data uses live futures prices — the universal language of global markets.

Two sessions per day: the European Session Brief publishes from 06:00 GMT, and the US Session Brief from 12:00 GMT. Both are timed around global market hours, not US Eastern Time.
Futures trade 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Unlike cash indices which only trade during US market hours, futures reflect real-time global sentiment at any hour.
We aggregate from financial news wires, RSS feeds, and market data providers — the same sources that power our Markets News & Sentiment Analyzer.
