About FC Markets

FC Markets is an independent publication about markets, money and the economy, written for American investors. It is part of FC Media, a small group of free-to-read titles.

What we do

We explain how markets work and what the news means for ordinary savers and investors. We favor clear explanations, worked examples and plain-English definitions over hot takes. We describe scenarios, not predictions, and we never tell you what to buy or sell.

What we cover

• Stocks: Companies, earnings and the stock market.
• ETFs & Funds: Index funds, ETFs and mutual funds.
• Bonds & Rates: Treasuries, yields and fixed income.
• The Fed & Economy: Interest rates, inflation and jobs.
• Retirement: 401(k)s, IRAs and planning ahead.
• Investing Basics: How investing works, from the ground up.
• Commodities: Gold, oil and raw materials.
• Crypto: Bitcoin, regulation and digital assets.
• Taxes & Investing: Capital gains, accounts and the IRS.
• Market Outlook: Scenarios, not predictions.

How we are funded

FC Markets is free to read. There is no paywall, no subscription and, for now, no advertising. We do not accept payment from companies or funds in exchange for coverage.
