3 @MICHAELHEWSON
Michael Hewson is a senior market analyst at CMC Markets. He provides solid market commentary on most sectors and is a bit of a whiz on all things Eurozone. He’ll re-tweet the likes of Matina Stevis (@MatinaStevis) on Greece and Fabrixio Goria (@FGoria) on Italy to keep you seriously up-to-date.
4 @JOSH_CITYINDEX
Arsenal tweets aside, City Index’s chief market strategist Joshua Raymond is the chatty sort of tweeter that engages with his followers. He invites questions and discusses the markets.
