real-time news
from real people

The world is flooded with ‘content’, and financial news is no different. But much of it is of little use at the moment of buy-or-sell  decision. More and more of it is machine-made. Missing the point entirely. Or flat out wrong.

You may as well read the press release yourself. That shouldn’t be too hard, as most business news also tends to be about the same handful of familiar companies over and over again.

Alliance News is a front-line news service for investors produced by a staff of journalists. We cover our markets universally, including stock listings both large and small. Yes, we use technology to the max, including some AI, but it’s our human core that keeps it real…and invaluable.

EXTRA: Poor US retail sales a timing issue but outlook looks soft
