  • LSEG launched Workspace Top 50 to track the most-searched commodities and equities among its user base, surfacing market sentiment in real time 𝕏
  • Search behavior is an interesting data point but not a bulletproof market signal—what professionals are looking for can mean interest, confusion, or just noise 𝕏
