Bloomberg Guide: Home

Bobst terminals currently unavailable due to facility closures. Please use alternatives listed on this page. If your course, program, or research specifically requires the use of the Bloomberg terminal, contact your instructor or advisor immediately.

Bloomberg is a terminal-bound financial services platform that provides analysis and quotes for equities (stocks) and indices, company and economic data for the countries of the world, real-time and historical industry and market news, and advanced analytical and data functions. It is an industry standard in the financial services and investment banking industries. NYU's terminals do not include the trading module and market data is delayed by 15 minutes.
