Investment supports MarketReader’s mission to help professional users understand what is moving markets, why it may be moving and what context matters next.
MarketReader, an AI-powered financial intelligence platform focused on explaining why markets move in real time, today announced a growth investment from Acuity Trading, a global provider of AI-driven market, event and trade intelligence for brokers, platforms and financial institutions.
The investment marks an important step in MarketReader’s next phase of growth. It brings together MarketReader’s specialist market move attribution technology with Acuity Trading’s established market intelligence infrastructure, distribution capability and experience delivering decision-support tools into financial workflows.
MarketReader is designed to answer one of the most important questions facing professional market participants: why did this move?
Its technology identifies abnormal price movements and connects those moves with relevant market, macro, news, sentiment and cross-asset data. The result is a structured explanation of what may be driving market activity, helping professional users move beyond price action and headlines towards clearer market context.
For MarketReader, the investment provides strategic support to expand the reach of its real-time attribution technology across institutional, advisory, brokerage and platform environments. For Acuity, it strengthens a broader intelligence offering by adding a specialist explanation layer that helps users understand not only what has moved, but why it may have moved.
The two companies are now working together to build a more complete intelligence workflow for professional market participants: helping users detect unusual market activity, understand potential drivers, validate wider context and monitor what may matter next.
MarketReader’s technology uses a structured, rules-based framework supported by controlled AI workflows. This approach is designed to provide consistent, explainable outputs for professional and institutional environments where transparency, supervision and reliability are critical.
Jens Nordvig, Co-Founder of MarketReader and former Goldman Sachs currency strategist, said:
“MarketReader was built to solve a very specific problem: helping professional users understand why markets are moving in real time. Acuity has built a strong global platform for delivering AI-driven market intelligence at scale, and this investment gives us the opportunity to bring our real-time attribution technology to a wider professional audience. Together, we can help financial institutions provide a more complete understanding of what is driving markets.”
Web Begole, Co-Founder of MarketReader, said:
“Since co-founding MarketReader five years ago, I’ve watched the AI field evolve toward many of the conclusions we started with. While others have been catching up, we’ve been building toward integrations exactly like this one. I’m looking forward to working with Acuity to pair our real-time market analysis with their trading intelligence platform, giving brokerages and their clients the analyst’s view on what’s happening and the trader’s view on what to do next, in a single workflow.”
Andrew Lane, Co-Founder of Acuity Trading, said:
“This investment reflects our confidence in MarketReader and in the future of market move attribution as an important part of financial intelligence. Acuity has always focused on helping clients make sense of markets through AI, data and research. MarketReader adds a powerful explanation layer to that ecosystem, helping users understand not just what has moved, but why it may have moved.”
MarketReader’s core audience includes institutional investment teams, RIAs, hedge funds, asset managers, family offices, research teams, wealth firms, compliance-sensitive users and enterprise platforms that need fast, credible explanations for market moves. This aligns with MarketReader’s positioning as a market explanation and attribution layer for professional investors and financial platforms.
The investment also reflects a broader shift in financial markets towards explainable, context-rich intelligence. As market participants face increasing volumes of data, headlines and price movement, the ability to understand the likely drivers behind market activity is becoming increasingly important.
