Which set is commonly associated with news services, including Dow Jones and Reuters?

• A. Interactive Data, SIX Financial, Markit
• B. Dow Jones, Reuters, Bloomberg
• C. Morningstar, FactSet, MSCI/Barra
• D. S&P Global, ICE Data Services, Refinitiv

Answer: (B)

News services in finance are the organizations that deliver real‑time market headlines, company moves, and broad market commentary to traders and analysts. Dow Jones and Reuters are two of the most recognizable traditional news agencies in this space, and Bloomberg is a leading source of financial news and market data. Together, they define the core trio of major financial news providers. The other sets are mainly data, analytics, or index providers rather than news outlets, so they aren’t the best fit for “news services.”
