FXStreet
Financial trade press, not politically aligned
Background
FXStreet was founded in January 2000 by economist Francesc Riverola along with Míriam Pinatell and Sergi Fernández, growing from a small Barcelona-based venture into one of the most widely used forex information sites globally, available in English, Spanish, and over a dozen other languages. It has remained independently owned throughout its history, with no public record of outside investment, acquisition, or broker ownership, and its leadership team (Riverola as founder/president, Fernández as CEO since 2017) still sits on its board. Its business model relies on advertising, broker sponsorships, and branded/sponsored content, which it discloses openly rather than hiding behind an 'independent' label. FXStreet has not been rated by major media-bias trackers like AllSides or Ground News, largely because it functions as trade/financial press covering currency markets, interest rates, and macroeconomic data rather than general political news. Its editorial output — described as 200-250 items per day — centers on real-time market analysis, technical forecasts, and economic-data coverage rather than opinion or political framing. Because its core audience is retail and institutional currency traders, its coverage of U.S. policy under the Trump administration tends to focus on the market impact of tariffs, Federal Reserve policy, and economic data releases, generally in a data-driven, non-ideological tone rather than taking an explicit political side.
