Reuters today announced the launch of Reuters Open Interest (ROI), an essential new source for data-driven, expert commentary on market and economic trends for financial professionals. Drawing on Reuters footprint in 200 locations around the world, ROI provides a truly global perspective on the biggest financial and economic topics of the day. ROI is available to LSEG customers via Workspace and to Reuters users via Reuters.com and Reuters newsletters.
In a time of unprecedented upheaval and uncertainty in the global economy and financial markets, ROI brings must-have perspectives that readers can’t find anywhere else. ROI features a panel of experienced in-house columnists and outside experts from the financial industry and academia providing their distinctive voices and views via 25-30 dedicated columns per week. Their unique blend of subject matter expertise, analysis and data visualizations provide readers with a deeper understanding of the trends driving capital allocation decisions worldwide. New formats and offerings will continue to be added as ROI grows.
ROI expands on the authoritative fact-based coverage that Reuters is known for, with distinctive takes on financial and economic topics. The new offering builds on Reuters track record of delivering incisive commentary though Breakingviews, which provides agenda-setting financial insight in real time to corporate boardrooms, investors and policymakers. Breakingviews, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, has continued to innovate for subscribers via new features like ‘The Big View’ and a newly relaunched podcast.
"We believe that Reuters Open Interest will quickly become a go-to source of unparalleled insights on market and economic trends for financial professionals," said Anna Szymanski, Editor-in-Charge, Reuters Commentary. "The new platform demonstrates a significant investment in our LSEG partnership and is designed to provide readers with the insights and analysis they need to make informed decisions in today's fast-paced markets.”
ROI's commentary covers a range of topics, including macroeconomics, foreign exchange markets, commodities, equities, bonds and emerging markets. Columnists bring more than 150 years of combined experience and include Ron Bousso on energy, Karen Braun on agriculture, Mike Dolan on markets, Andy Home on metals, Gavin Maguire on renewables, Jamie McGeever on markets and Clyde Russell on Asia commodities.
Some external experts featured on the site in recent months include sovereign debt experts Lee Buchheit and Mitu Gulati; financial author Marty Fridson; Stephanie Guild, CIO of Robinhood Markets; Eurizon SLJ CEO Stephen Jen; investment strategist Joachim Klement; Mike Peacock, former Reuters Senior Editor; Jay Pelosky, founder of TPW Advisory; Manishi Raychaudhuri, CEO of Emmer Capital Partners Limited; and Fidelity International portfolio manager Taosha Wang.
