About Hey, It’s Biz

Business, stocks, finance and the political decisions that affect them, gathered in one place.

Headlines come from public publisher feeds and refresh every five minutes while you’re reading. Open a story to read the original report. Publication times come from each publisher; missing times are marked. Some publishers require a subscription.

The front page prioritizes recent market developments and balances publishers. Similar headlines within a 36-hour window are grouped together; open story details to compare the original headlines and reporting.

The market brief pairs the latest available quotes with short excerpts or headlines from dated reporting. Each report links to its source. Price changes alone do not establish why a market moved. Business lens notes explain possible effects of a topic; they do not establish that an effect has occurred.

Price charts, market movers and sector displays use attributed TradingView widgets and may be delayed. Oil display symbols are CFDs; official inventory observations are separate. The Stock Fear & Greed Index from CNN Business measures US stock-market sentiment using seven indicators. Each reading keeps its published time; a cached reading is labelled. The separate Crypto Fear & Greed Index from Alternative.me measures cryptocurrency sentiment.

The calendar lists selected US and UK company earnings announcements, jobs, inflation, GDP, retail sales, trade, central-bank decisions and EIA oil inventories. Earnings calls and results releases are labelled separately. Times follow the selected time zone and daylight saving. Cached schedules retain their original check times; a passed scheduled time does not confirm publication.

Catch up highlights available reports whose publisher timestamps are after your previous visit or your Mark all seen checkpoint. Visits stay active while this page is visible and group reloads within 30 minutes. Only visit timestamps are kept in this browser; the checkpoint does not mean you read a story and does not change Saved read/unread status.

Your daily brief selects dated reporting from the past 24 hours, balances publishers and topics, and includes reports matching My News in this browser. Headlines and complete short excerpts stay attributed; market quotes keep their own times and do not establish why prices moved. The brief refreshes as reporting arrives and is not an exhaustive record of the day.

Company pages cover selected US and UK listings. Attributed TradingView price charts load on request. US ADR displays for UK companies use US dollars and are labelled separately from their London listings. Related news matches company names and tickers in original headlines and excerpts. US company reports link to SEC EDGAR; UK pages link to investor relations. Follow adds the company name to My News in this browser.
