Yahoo Finance is expanding its global footprint with a new editorial team and studio in London, extended hours of programming, and a partnership with Blue Ocean Technologies that will make the company one of the first major financial news platforms to offer round-the-clock market data.
Bringing the Best Talent
Starting on June 30, Yahoo Finance will debut Morning Brief: Market Sunrise, a daily live show streaming from the London-based studio at 7am ET. Anchored by veteran business correspondent Ramzan Karmali, formerly of Reuters, the show will give individual investors an edge by providing a look at global markets and U.S. futures, along with newsmaking interviews, signature analysis that Yahoo Finance is known for and deep context.
Morning Brief: Market Sunrise will be the company’s first live show produced outside of the U.S. The show will bridge the gap between Asia, Europe, and U.S. markets—offering investors a head start on the trading day with coverage of overnight market moves and key global headlines.
Yahoo Improves Agility
The addition of a permanent editorial presence in the UK gives Yahoo Finance greater agility to report on impactful financial developments in real-time—enhancing the depth and credibility of its global coverage.
At the heart of this market coverage expansion is a bold new programming model: offering live and on-demand content five days a week, around the clock. This reimagined schedule reflects how today’s investors operate—across asset classes and with growing demand for real-time, actionable insights that don’t stop when U.S. markets close.
Real-Time Data
With the addition of a new show, the revamped market day programming will span from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET daily, with a new cadence of pre-market insights, mid-day updates, after-hours context, and correspondents reporting live from major financial centers including the NYSE, NASDAQ, and now steps from the London Stock Exchange.
The new model will empower investors with real-time data visualization, interactive touchscreen explainers, and insights from a growing roster of expert contributors.
“At Yahoo Finance, we’re focused on building a newsroom that reflects the pace and priorities of the modern investor,” said Anthony Galloway, Head of Content, Yahoo Finance. “Through our first live UK-based show and new programming formats, we hope to offer actionable financial information with unbeatable context that will help investors stay informed, regardless of what timezone they live in.”
Technology Transcends Traditional Trading
As part of this transformation, Yahoo Finance is also expanding its market coverage by offering 24-hour pricing updates for U.S. stocks and ETFs, in partnership with Blue Ocean Technologies. Today’s investors operate in a world where economic shifts, geopolitical headlines, and earnings news unfold around the clock and overnight trading heads toward the new normal, creating a growing need for updates that transcend traditional trading windows.
Until now, investors had to wait for pre-market or regular hours to see how news impacted prices. As a complement to its expanded programming, Yahoo Finance users will be able to access continuous, real-time quote data for all U.S.-listed securities, including NYSE and Nasdaq stocks, outside of regular and after-hours trading from 8pm to 4am ET, Sunday through Thursday. This integration makes Yahoo Finance one of the first major financial news platforms to offer 24/5 market updates.
Blue Ocean Partnership
“Today’s investors don’t stop watching the markets when they’re closed—and neither should we,” said John Willock, Head of Strategy & Market Data, Blue Ocean Technologies. “By integrating 24-hour quote data on Yahoo Finance, we’re giving our global audience real-time visibility into U.S. stock movements around the clock—ensuring investors can stay informed and act with confidence, no matter when news breaks.”
The new programming vision, the UK expansion and Blue Ocean partnership reinforce the Yahoo Finance vision of delivering continuous, real-time coverage for a global investor audience — seamlessly connecting coverage across continents and time zones– and solidify its position as the trusted guide of financial news and data for investors around the globe.
