Market briefings for people who make their own decisions.
Market Beacon Report covers stocks, mining and minerals, and technology across the United States, Canada and Germany. Short, sourced briefings so you can keep up without a terminal.
How a briefing is made
Monitor
Editors watch exchange announcements, filings, regulator releases, central bank calendars and commodity benchmarks across the US, Canada and Germany.
Select
Every item has to pass one test: would a self-directed investor change what they watch because of it? If not, it's cut.
Write
Each item says what happened, why it matters and what to watch next. Numbers are checked against the source.
Review and send
A second editor checks accuracy and balance before the briefing goes out at its scheduled time.
The rules we write by
Primary sources
Every fact is checked against the announcement, filing or official data release it came from. We link the source where we can.
Editorial and sponsorship stay separate
Sponsors never see, review or influence editorial copy. Sponsored blocks are written by the advertiser and labelled.
Holdings are disclosed
If a writer holds a position in a company covered, the briefing says so. Writers don't trade a stock within 48 hours of covering it.
No tips or price targets
We explain what happened and why it matters. We don't issue buy, sell or hold calls.
Corrections
Material errors are corrected on the web version with a dated note, and in the next issue of the same briefing.
