Welcome to the rebooted Spot Markets Live!

We have teamed up with finance pros and journalists to get you live commentary about markets, finance and econ during market time or during key market-moving events (think central bank announcements, earnings, briefings and speeches). The chat operates in the style of a curated text message exchange between financial market professionals. Participants get to view and offer feedback in their dedicated commentary zone.

Sessions pride themselves on being interactive. But unlike the chaos of Discord or Telegram channels, everything is curated and led by professionals to ensure the maximum signal to noise ratio can be achieved.

Until we attract dedicated sponsorship we will be limited to one Monday 11am session per week. But the aim (once we can afford a full-time voice) is to host sessions daily, adding special sessions whenever high-vol market days hit.

Current collaborators include Neil Collins, formerly of the Telegraph; Anjuli Davies, formerly of Reuters and the Telegraph and Ben Harrington of Betaville.

Sessions are hosted on the Coodash platform, which looks like this:

To participate all you need is a Coodash login.

Spot Markets Live won’t work without scale, so please do spread the word!
