About

What this is

Blunt Markets is a scanning desk for people who already follow markets. The home wire is meant to be read in under a minute: what moved, which names are tagged, and whether there is a level to check. Open a brief for the take. Open a tool if you want to size a move. Then leave.

It is not a full newswire, a brokerage, or a tip sheet. We do not sell subscriptions, signals, or courses.

How briefs are made

Most briefs start as public RSS headlines and summaries from publishers such as BBC Business and CNBC. We rewrite that material into short desk copy: fewer adjectives, no question headlines, no buy/sell language. We do not interview sources or sit in the press room. If a number is not in the source summary, it should not appear in the brief. See how to read a brief.

Each item keeps a source line and an outbound link to the original story. The brief is a scan layer. The publisher still owns the reporting.

Session levels on the strip and on tagged briefs come from delayed market data. Liquid ETF proxies stand in for cash FX, oil, gold, and rates when a free data feed does not cover the underlying. That is disclosed on the page. See how we treat quotes and how to read session levels.

What the tools are for

Calculators on /tools are arithmetic you can run without a spreadsheet: compound paths, fee drag, inflation, P&L, position size from a stop, average entry after an add. They use the assumptions you type. They do not pull live fills or your broker risk engine.

Longer notes on method sit under Guides. Those pages are original to this site. Briefs are not.

Who it is for

People who already know the difference between a print and a narrative, and who want a quieter scan than a portal homepage. Follows (symbols, themes, asset classes) live in the browser. There is no account yet.

What we do not do

• Investment advice, recommendations, or price targets.
• Guaranteed accuracy of delayed prices or proxy ETFs.
• Personalized portfolios or "what you should buy."
• Paywalled original reporting competing with the source papers.

Not investment advice

Everything on Blunt Markets is informational and educational. Markets lose money. You are responsible for your own decisions, including whether a brief, a level, or a calculator output is useful. If you need advice, talk to a licensed professional in your jurisdiction.
