Financial News Wire for Media

Australian Associated Press produces a comprehensive financial news service for newspapers, radio and television broadcasters, digital customers and trading room screens on a real-time basis.

The detailed coverage of the Australian market includes regional business.

Using the resources of its general reporting bureaus Australia-wide, the finance wire is enhanced by Australian political and industrial news that impacts on financial markets and coverage of national economic statistics.

More than 100 unique Australian stories are moved daily from Sunday through Friday - more during AGM and profit reporting seasons. Updates of these stories move as they develop during the day.

International financial stories and data come from international agencies and AAP's own reporters stationed offshore.

A truly Australian focus sets the AAP Financial News Wire aside from its financial market competitors.

Its scope is far wider than any other in this country. You would expect our Financial News Wire to cover the movements of the ASX top 100 companies but AAP drills much further - to middle ranking companies and smaller regionals.

And we're fast. The moment it's announced, the news is on our wires.

AAP's Financial data services team compiles daily shares trading information - prices, movement and historical stocks information.

Regular services include:
  • "Snap" - breaking news headlines;
  • "Snap" - breaking news stories (greater detail);
  • Major company news of the day - announcements, profit results, meetings;
  • Stock reports - at the open, at noon and at the close of play;
  • Weekly Stock Watch - the movers and shakers of the week;
  • Money reports - at the open, at noon and at the close;
  • Bonds market reports - at the open, at noon and at the close;
  • Monthly surveys of economists' expectations for rate moves;
  • Monthly surveys of economists' expectations for GDP forecasts;
  • Personal finance wraps;
  • Regular features and analysis pieces;
  • CEO interviews;
  • Daily sharemarket trading figures.


Financial News for Dealers and Corporate Sector

An enhanced financial news wire is offered to dealer rooms and the wider corporate community.

The journalistic diligence and urgency that comes with producing a news wire for a demanding media audience ensures the financial sector can trade on news and information they can trust.

Stories are thorough yet succinct, allowing those who rely on this information to react quickly and confidently to market developments.

There are a number of financial screens services in the marketplace - offered by very good international organisations. But this is AAP's backyard. No one knows Australian business like we do nor do they drill down as far as we do.

The AAP screens service is defined by a number of unique services, including:
  • Markets report and wrap - Wrap-up of what has happened on the major overseas markets and commodity markets overnight, the direction the local sharemarket is expected to take, the major overseas and local news and stocks to watch that day. This is provided before the sharemarket opens each day;
  • Stockwatch - The stocks to watch on the sharemarket, offered three times daily;
  • Data Review - Wrap-up of the week's major economic data releases, offered Friday mornings;
  • Data Preview - Snapshot of the week's major economic data releases, with economists' forecasts, offered first thing Monday morning;
  • Finance Week - Comprehensive diary of major financial events - including economic data releases, profit results, company meetings - for the next week, offered early Thursday afternoons and updated 24 hours later;
  • Regular in-depth previews of the major market data due for release.
