About MarketLens
What this is, why it exists, and how it works
Why I built this
I got tired of paying for three different financial news subscriptions just to get a halfway decent picture of what was happening across global markets. The free stuff was either too shallow or buried under ads. The paid stuff was either US-only or behind a paywall that assumed you already knew which stocks you cared about.
MarketLens started as a weekend project — a single page that pulled headlines from a few sources and organised them by region. It grew from there. Now it covers markets, real estate, economics and government policy across Australia, the US, the UK, Japan, South Korea, China and Europe, with an equity research tool that lets you run a quick health check on any listed stock.
What you'll find here
The Today's Headlines tab aggregates financial and economic news from reputable sources — ABC News, the Sydney Morning Herald, BBC, The Guardian, NHK World, Korea Herald and others — organised by region and category so you can scan what matters to you without wading through everything else.
The Company Research tab is a stock health check tool. Enter a ticker (or just type the company name) and it pulls live financial data — revenue, margins, cash flow, balance sheet — then generates a structured equity analysis in the style of a sell-side research note. It covers ASX, NYSE, NASDAQ, LSE, KRX, TSE and most other major exchanges.
Published analysis from the research tool gets saved to the Research archive, so you can browse past reports by region, category or date.
