Eikon

Eikon is a specialist database from LSEG (formerly Thomson Reuters and Refinitiv). It includes global economic, listed company, financial data. It is an integrated news, content and analytic trading platform which allows you to monitor the markets and perform in-depth research.

You can also use EIKON with Excel either by copying data in, or by importing it using the Excel add-in.

Eikon includes access to the data that was previously available via Datastream.

Eikon is most suitable for research purposes.  For undergraduates, the UWE Business School provides access to the Bloomberg Trading Room.  Your CBL Librarian Team have created a reading list of alternative data sources that you can access off-campus: Alternative sources to Bloomberg and Eikon.
