News data for trading desks
Markets move on information the moment it’s public. Opoint feeds your trading and execution systems with structured, entity-tagged news in under 7 minutes from publication, across 135 languages, so your models and your desk see a market-moving story before it reaches the wire.
Opoint supplies the data; your systems turn it into decisions.
Latency is the cost you don't see on the P&L
Your strategy can be right and still lose the edge if the data reaches you late. Most trading setups run on English-language wires, which are downstream of the story.
By the time a regulatory action, a corporate event, or a supply disruption reaches Reuters or Bloomberg, it has often been public in the local business press for hours.
That gap between first publication and your system is latency you’re not measuring, and it’s where the first-mover advantage is won or lost.

The advantage lives in the sources others don't cover
Leading aggregators deliver a fraction of the global news flow, weighted heavily toward English-language tier-one outlets. Opoint reaches the regional, non-English, and niche-sector sources where market-moving events are reported first.
For a desk trading anything beyond large-cap developed markets, that reach is the difference between acting on a signal and reacting to a headline everyone already has.
To see what that means in practice, consider a real example
When two water-overflow incidents hit Vale’s iron-ore operations in Brazil, the story ran in Portuguese more than 12 hours before the first English-language wire carried it. Vale’s share price fell 2.3% in São Paulo that day. For a desk with exposure, those 12 hours were the trading window.
