Yahoo Finance Market News and Quotes
Yahoo Finance Market News and Quotes brings together the market journalism of Yahoo Finance and of the agencies it carries, among them Reuters, Bloomberg and Agence France-Presse. The home page sets each headline next to the company it concerns and that company's move for the day, and groups the coverage under top stories, markets and economy, earnings and personal finance.
Limits of the Free Tier Plan: Reading the news, opening a company's quote page with its chart and figures, and following the lists of trending, rising and falling shares and the earnings calendar are all free, as is the daily video program; a free account adds portfolios and watchlists. The plans named Silver and Gold carry the research tools, about forty years of financial statements and the export of historical data to a file.
How It Helps Your Business English
The page opens on the story of the hour, then the headlines by section: top stories, markets and economy, earnings, and widely read pieces. Each one shows its source and its hour, with the company's symbol and its percentage move. Lower down sit the trending symbols, the day's largest gains and losses, the most traded shares and the earnings calendar.
You read a headline and see at once, beside it, the figure it describes, which ties the words to the number. Opening a company's page gives you its chart and statements in the same vocabulary the article uses, and because the page carries several newsrooms, you can read two accounts of one event and compare how each one reports it. The video program offers the same stories spoken.
