Today Business Insider debuts First Trade, a daily markets newsletter providing insights into the stocks, companies, personalities, and trading strategies shaping the financial world. With First Trade, Business Insider continues its mission to be your go-to destination for business, tech, and innovation news, keeping readers informed, inspired, and coming back every day.
The newsletter is written by executive editor Joe Ciolli and edited by deputy editor Akin Oyedele. Ciolli started his career as an investment banker on Wall Street, and he has spent years reporting on markets across countless cycles, from the ashes of the Great Financial Crisis through the meme-stock revolution to the ongoing Trump trade. Oyedele has been instrumental to the markets team during his 11 years at Business Insider, working as a reporter and editor.
“Each weekday morning, I’ll break down the big market moves, who’s winning and losing, and how it all impacts you. I’ll combine market smarts with the wit and candor of the outspoken sports-fan friend in your group chat,” says Ciolli. “Each edition will give you something new to chew on, whether it’s news, portfolio tips, expert commentary, or pop culture. Hey, you might even laugh.”
First Trade is part of Business Insider’s expanding newsletter portfolio, an effort to help readers tailor their experience and stay up-to-date on the topics that matter most to them. The launch reflects Business Insider’s broader commitment to deepening reader engagement through newsletters and new features like “follow,” which make it easier than ever to stay informed. First Trade builds on the success of Business Insider’s flagship newsletter, Business Insider Today, a smart daily digest of business and tech news, as well as newer offerings including Tech Memo, a weekly dive into Silicon Valley, and Defense Flash, a weekly roundup of Business Insider’s distinctive reporting on the business of defense.
