  1. Financial News Websites:

    • Deloitte Insights: Regularly publishes reports on key financial and market trends, including tech adoption, investment banking, and private equity.
    • PwC's Market Insights: Offers useful analysis on emerging trends in financial markets, regulations, and investment strategies.
