THE Herald's Share Price page has been given a new look this morning,
and will provide readers with an enhanced service, showing most
important indices over five days.
A major new feature is the Market Sector Analysis which shows how 26
sectors of the stock market, such as Drinks, Food, Retailing, and Oil
and Gas, have performed over the previous five days.
This appears in the box on the Share Price page, along with the FT
indices, the Main Price Changes, the Foreign Exchange Rates, and the
Foreign Market Indices.
Information on inflation, interest rates, and commodity prices appears
as a Tailpiece at the foot of the final column of share prices.
The Wall Street Market report and New York share prices have been
moved to the market box which will continue to carry the UK stock market
report.
On Thursday's in Scotland's Business dividend payment dates will be
given instead of Highs and Lows.
The new service is provided by Infosis, the Yorkshire-based suppliers
of financial and other information.
Infosis was established earlier this year by Chris Mellor, Mike Jones,
and Tony Warner, the three men who founded the former Computer Newspaper
Services, now PA Data Design.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
