I was charting Equities futures and suddenly there was the 300point drop (on DJAI) in last hour of trading 8/11.
So looking around at the time, I see some news....Was it due to Big 10 cancelling fall football? Some bad vaccine news?
Saw afterward :
The S&P 500 finished the session 1.5% from its Feb. 19 closing high. The last-hour downturn for the Dow and S&P 500 came as Thomas Barkin, chief of one of 12 regional branches of the central bank, sounded an alarm at a "digital town hall" held on Tuesday by the Center for Regional Economic Competitiveness. Barkin said a recession of "historic proportions" could take another turn for the worse if a stalemated Congress fails to provide more financial aid to beleaguered workers and businesses.
I don't want to watch CNBC, but where would this kind of news get released, in minute by minute releases? I know Marketwatch has a small new ticker in the upper right, but it didn't include this info.
Thanks in advance.

What you probably want is a squawk service. They tend to provide real time news most relevant to traders.
Talking Forex used to be good and cheap but I think they decommissioned that months ago. There are similar services reviewed here on FIO (just put 'squawk' on the search box and click on search).
They seem to offer an alternative for talking-forex in the blue box now, for me there is no squawk yet although being "connected" when clicking "voice squawk". https://www.zerohedge.com
