WSJ (Wall Street Journal)
WSJ stands for the The Wall Street Journal, one of the world’s most recognized sources for financial and market news. Founded in 1889 and published by Dow Jones & Company, it covers stocks, bonds, interest rates, companies, the economy, and global markets.
In finance and trading, “WSJ” often refers not just to the newspaper itself, but to a trusted information source traders watch for market-moving news, analysis, and economic signals. When traders say “WSJ reported…,” they usually mean news that could affect prices, sentiment, or policy expectations.
The WSJ is also known for publishing the WSJ Prime Rate, a benchmark based on rates set by major banks, often referenced in lending and credit markets.
For beginners, think of WSJ as a major financial news hub traders use to stay informed.
Example:
If the WSJ reports the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates, traders may react by buying stocks, selling the U.S. dollar, or adjusting bond positions before the decision is official.
In short, WSJ is both a newspaper and a key reference point in global finance.
