Alyce Andres-Frantz

Bethesda, MD-based financial news provider MT Newswires has launched a new chat-based news service.

“Ask Alyce” launched on Jan. 9 and features former Market News International Chicago bureau chief Alyce Andres-Frantz.

The interactive instant message service allows participants via Bloomberg and Symphony to ask questions and easily digest market information in an effort to make actionable trading decisions. Andres-Frantz is responsible for accurate and timely news reporting on a myriad of markets with a focus on the U.S. fixed income markets and its highly correlated asset classes.

She will also collaborate with colleagues to contribute to other MT Newswires products.

Andres-Frantz worked for Market News International for 19 years. While there, she reported on U.S. Treasury cash bonds, futures and options, U.S. swaps, Eurodollar futures, federal funds futures, U.S. corporate bonds, mortgage backed securities, equities, commodities and credit default swaps.

She also covered central bankers and global government official speeches as well as financial market and industry news.

Here is our Q&A with MT Newswires founder Brooks McFeely from July 2016.
