Bloomberg
Bloomberg delivers financial news, market data, and analytics to professionals through its terminal, website, and media properties.
What is Bloomberg?
Is Bloomberg down? Bloomberg L.P. is an American financial data and media company founded by Michael Bloomberg in 1981, best known for the Bloomberg Terminal — the financial industry's dominant professional data and trading platform — as well as Bloomberg.com, Bloomberg Television, and Bloomberg Radio. The Bloomberg Terminal, used by over 325,000 finance professionals globally at an annual subscription cost of approximately $27,000 per user, provides real-time market data, news, analytics, and messaging. Server issues and outages affecting the Bloomberg Terminal are among the most financially consequential software failures possible, as disruptions prevent traders, portfolio managers, and analysts from accessing market data and executing trades during live market hours.
Bloomberg's infrastructure operates across global data centers with redundancy designed for financial-grade availability, given that the Terminal's users include banks, hedge funds, asset managers, and central banks for whom milliseconds of data delay or minutes of outage can translate into significant financial losses. Bloomberg's real-time market data feeds covering equities, fixed income, currencies, and commodities require extremely low-latency delivery. Bloomberg.com and the Bloomberg app serve a broader audience consuming financial news and analysis, running on separate infrastructure from the Terminal but sharing some backend data services.
When Bloomberg is down or not working, users commonly report the Bloomberg Terminal displaying "Connection Interrupted" and failing to retrieve live market data feeds, the {MSG} Bloomberg messaging system failing to deliver messages between Terminal users, Bloomberg.com article pages loading without content or timing out entirely, the Bloomberg app failing to display real-time stock quotes and market indices, Bloomberg TV live stream returning a playback error in the app or on the website, or Terminal login via Bloomberg Anywhere (remote access) failing to authenticate the user's biometric or hardware token.
