Current stock market report

The more modern history of the stock market report revolves around the Internet. In 1971, NASDAQ emerged. It represented the first electronic stock market, according to the Library of Congress. The company revolutionized the way developments in the market were communicated, courtesy of a massive, computerized bulletin board featuring real-time prices and showcasing up-to-the-minute fluctuations. Formerly, reporting was very labor-intensive, according to Mint; the process depended on groups of analysts who would review trading developments and report it through any means available at that point in history. The process of reporting and facilitating trades has since been automated, and includes the late-2000s technological communication platform launched by NYSE which enables media organizations and Internet operations to buy real-time market data, according to the NYSE site.
