About the news, information and data

What types of news and information does PiQ Markets provide?

PiQ Markets delivers AI-curated, editor-reviewed news across markets, crypto, technology, business, politics and geopolitics, built for anyone who needs a clear read on what is moving markets. Stories are scored for relevance by an AI-assisted system, then reviewed, tagged and published by a human editorial team. You can browse by category directly on the site, from equities and crypto to macro and geopolitics.

Which markets and instruments does PiQ Markets cover?

PiQ Markets covers eleven categories: Equities & Funds, Crypto & Digital Assets, AI & Technology, Business & Corporate, Macro, Rates & FX, Commodities & Energy, Real Estate & Property, US Politics & Policy, European Politics & Markets, Asia-Pacific, and Geopolitics & Global Risk. Coverage is global, spanning the US, Europe, Asia-Pacific and emerging markets, not limited to any single region.

What are the information sources used by PiQ Markets, and how is it validated?

PiQ Markets draws on established outlets including AP, Reuters, Bloomberg, the Financial Times, CNBC, MarketWatch and Yahoo Finance for breaking news, alongside official sources such as the Federal Reserve and the ECB, and specialist feeds for crypto, commodities and emerging markets. An AI-assisted system scans and scores this source base for market relevance, and PiQ's editorial team reviews, tags and publishes the stories that make the cut. Every story carries source attribution back to its origin.

How frequently is PiQ Markets news and information updated?

Continuously. Breaking news categories update in real time throughout the day, so the stories you see are typically only minutes old rather than sitting on a fixed publishing schedule.

What makes your news and information different from other providers?

PiQ Markets pairs AI-assisted curation with genuine editorial judgement, rather than running as a pure automated aggregator, so stories are shaped by a team that tags, contextualises and prioritises what actually matters. It is built as a global platform from the outset, covering eleven categories across the US, Europe, Asia-Pacific and emerging markets in one place, and includes direct partnership content, such as CME Group tools and resources, alongside PiQ's own editorial coverage.

What should I do if I spot an error in a story?

Email [email protected] with the story link and what looks wrong. PiQ's editorial team reviews and corrects genuine errors.

Membership and support

Is PiQ Markets for individuals or just traders?

Both, and more. PiQ Markets is built for retail and professional traders, investors, and business and finance teams, as well as anyone who wants a clear, fast read on what is happening in markets, wherever they are in the world.

What are the PiQ pricing plans?

Everything on PiQ Markets is free to use right now. There is no paywall on the news, and no account is required to browse.

Is PiQ Markets actually free to use right now?

Yes. Everything currently on the site, news and all eleven categories, is free, with no paywall and no account needed to browse.

Does PiQ access have usage-based limits?

No. Core news access on PiQ Markets is free, with no usage cap on reading stories. As paid features are introduced, some may come with their own limits, but nothing is decided or live yet.

Do you offer pricing tiers for startups, funds, or academic institutions?

Not as a packaged plan today. If you are a business, fund or academic institution after bulk access or licensing, email [email protected] and the team can talk through what you need.

Are there additional fees for redistribution or commercial use?

There is no published fee schedule for redistributing or commercially using PiQ content today. If you want to redistribute, embed or commercially use PiQ news or data, email [email protected] to discuss terms.

Is customer support included in my membership?

Yes. Every PiQ Markets user, free or otherwise, can reach the team at [email protected] for support, feedback or questions.

Can I customise my feed or build my own dashboard?

Not yet. A customisable dashboard, where you add your own feeds, charts and tools, and pick the topics you want delivered to you, is on the roadmap but not live on the site today.

Is PiQ Markets mobile friendly?

Yes. PiQ Markets is a fully responsive, mobile-first website, so news and category pages work smoothly in a mobile browser. There is no dedicated iOS or Android app at this time.
