RealClearMarkets was launched in 2003 as an extension of the RealClear Media Group, which was founded by Tom Bevan and John McIntyre in 2000. The idea behind RealClearMarkets was to provide a centralized platform for news, analysis, and commentary on financial markets, economic policy, and business-related topics. Bevan and McIntyre recognized the need for a resource that could aggregate and curate high-quality content from a diverse range of sources, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of the complex world of finance and economics. RealClearMarkets, along with the other RealClear platforms, remains independently owned and operated by its original founders. Based in Washington D.C., RealClearMarkets primarily focuses on news and analysis related to financial markets, economic trends, investment strategies, and business policy. The site aggregates content from various news outlets, financial blogs, and industry experts, providing readers with a wide range of perspectives on issues such as stock market movements, monetary policy, trade, and regulatory changes. In addition to curated articles, RealClearMarkets also features its own original commentary and analysis, offering in-depth insights on the latest developments in the world of finance and economics. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of RealClearMarkets is its “Morning Note“ feature, which provides a daily roundup of the most important financial and economic news stories. This concise summary, delivered to readers' inboxes each morning, allows busy professionals and investors to quickly catch up on the key events and trends that may impact their decisions, making it a valuable resource for those who need to stay informed on the go.
