1. Introduction & Scope

Aevum News provides editorial and informational content related to global markets, including but not limited to equity indices, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, cryptocurrency valuations, bond yields, and macroeconomic indicators.

This policy applies to all visitors, subscribers, enterprise clients, and automated systems that access, retrieve, or utilize market data published by Aevum News.

2. Data Sources & Aggregation
