Acuity Trading Takes Stake in MarketReader to Bolster AI Market Intelligence Offering | LeapRate

Acuity Trading has announced an investment in MarketReader, an AI-powered platform that provides real-time explanations for market price movements, as the firm looks to extend the depth of its intelligence offering for financial institutions.

MarketReader’s technology is designed to identify abnormal price movements and connect them with relevant market, macroeconomic, news, sentiment, and cross-asset data, providing professional users with structured, timely explanations of what may be driving market activity. 

Its approach uses a rules-based framework supported by controlled AI workflows, prioritising transparency and consistency for institutional environments where auditability and human oversight are essential.

For Acuity, the investment adds a specialist attribution layer to its existing suite of market, event, and trade intelligence capabilities, creating a more complete workflow that helps users identify what is moving, understand why, and monitor what may matter next. 

The firm says the combination of its global distribution and MarketReader’s attribution technology creates a richer intelligence offering for brokers, trading platforms, wealth firms, and financial institutions.

Andrew Lane, Co-Founder of Acuity Trading, said the investment reflects confidence in MarketReader and in market move attribution as an increasingly important component of financial intelligence.

Jens Nordvig, Co-Founder of MarketReader and a former Goldman Sachs currency strategist, said the partnership would extend the reach of the platform’s real-time attribution technology to a wider professional audience, helping financial institutions provide a more complete understanding of what is driving markets.
