Squawk
The Newsfeed isn’t the only way you can get fast stock market news with Benzinga Pro. Our Audio Squawk provides you with headlines and real-time market updates read out loud so you never miss key news.
Why Is It Moving?
Sometimes, it’s not always clear why a stock is moving. To fill in the gaps, Benzinga Pro’s news desk analysts work hard to figure out why stocks are moving. Once they post it, you can find it on the details page of a stock, or filter your Newsfeed by the category “Why Is It Moving?”
Benzinga Pro makes it easy to sift through the constant stream of stock news. If you haven’t started your free, two-week trial yet, start your trial to see how you can stay up-to-date on the markets with Benzinga Pro.
