Premarket movers are the stocks, indices and assets making the biggest moves before the regular session opens — driven by overnight news, earnings, economic data and shifts in sentiment. Newsquawk’s Premarket Movers & Daily Market Open distils what happened overnight and what’s expected next into concise, analyst-written wraps published twice a day: the US and European market-open briefings and a week-ahead look at the calendar. Rather than a raw list of tickers, each wrap explains why things moved and what to watch into the session - across equities, FX, rates, energy and metals.
