Bloomberg has a new training program called Bloomberg Market Concepts. This program will use videos to introduce students to financial concepts in four areas: Economic Indicators, Currencies, Fixed Income and Equities. The program then uses the Bloomberg terminal functions, Bloomberg News and Bloomberg television to provide examples and illustrate these concepts in different ways. To Access Bloomberg Market Concepts, visit BMC at the terminals.
