Financial Spark is plain talk about finance — markets, investing, business, and the economy, explained without the jargon. If it moves money, we break it down.
Every story here starts with one question: what’s the money angle? We follow the numbers, name the winners and losers, and finish with the lesson that outlives the headline.
Financial Spark is written by Daniel Reyes (markets and investing), Claire Donovan (business and competition), and Marcus Bell (the economy, in plain terms).
Meet the writers
Daniel Reyes
Daniel covers markets and investing for Financial Spark. His beat is what Wall Street is pricing in, what it’s missing, and what it costs everyone else.
Claire Donovan
Claire covers business and competition: the strategies, moats, and disruptions that decide which companies win. She reads the earnings reports so she can explain them in plain English.
Marcus Bell
Marcus covers the economy in plain terms — jobs, prices, and interest rates, and what they mean for your paycheck, your mortgage, and your grocery bill.
