About

What this site is, where its numbers come from, and what it deliberately does not do.

What Money Desk is

Money Desk is a live news desk for markets, business, the economy, technology and crypto. It pulls headlines from nine public RSS feeds, removes duplicates, sorts them by recency, and pairs them with live index quotes. There is no editorial team and no human writing on a schedule — the page is rebuilt from source data every hour.

Where the news comes from

Every story on this site originates with a publisher. We list the feeds we read below. Each headline links back to the original article on the publisher's own site, and every item is attributed to its newsroom.

Market data

The ticker along the top of the desk shows eight instruments: the S&P 500, the Dow, the Nasdaq, the VIX, gold, West Texas Intermediate crude, bitcoin and the US Dollar Index. Prices are fetched from Yahoo Finance's public chart endpoint and refreshed whenever the page is rebuilt. The small chart beside each quote is drawn from that instrument's last 30 daily closes. Quotes are indicative and may be delayed; they are not investment advice.

The daily brief

The article at the top of the page is compiled automatically from the numbers and headlines already on the desk. It is generated by templates, not written by a language model — if a figure is missing, the sentence describing it is omitted rather than padded out. Every claim in the brief traces back to an index quote or a linked story.

What we do not do

Money Desk stores headlines, sources, timestamps, summaries and links. We do not republish article bodies. The publishers who report this news own it, and the way we respect that is by sending readers to them rather than reproducing their work here. Photographs are loaded from the publisher's own image servers, resized for display, and attributed to the story they accompany.

If you are a publisher and would prefer your feed not be listed here, contact us through the address below and we will remove it.

How often it updates

The desk rebuilds hourly. If the current snapshot is more than an hour old when you arrive, the page shows what it has and rebuilds in the background, so the copy you read is rarely more than an hour behind the wires. The timestamp in the masthead tells you exactly when the current edition was compiled. Market quotes refresh independently, on each page load.

Corrections and contact

This site is run by an individual. There is no corrections desk. If you spot something wrong — a broken link, a mislabelled quote, a feed that should not be here — email contact@makemoneyarticals.online and it will be fixed.
