Your 5-minute read before the bell
Markets don't sleep. Futures move, Asia closes, Europe opens, crypto trades all night, and a Fed speaker says something at 2 AM. By the time you check your phone, the story has already been written.
The Overnight Desk reads it for you. We're a free, calm, data-first pre-market brief for long-term US retail investors, covering stocks, crypto and the economy. It hits your inbox every weekday at 6:00 AM ET.
What's inside every issue
- Overnight snapshot: futures, yields, oil, gold, the dollar and crypto, in one glance.
- The lead story: the one thing that moved overnight, and why it matters to your portfolio.
- Chart of the Day: one chart, one takeaway.
- Quick hits: the other headlines worth 30 seconds.
- Today's catalysts: data releases, earnings and Fed events, with times in ET.
What we don't do
No trade calls. No price targets. No "this stock will 10x" hype. We give you context, so you can make your own decisions.
