Datastream (now available via Refinitiv Workspace)

This research guide is designed to help you find key financial market information. It identifies resources in the specific areas of stocks, bonds, interest rates, mutual funds, and commodities.

Datastream

Datastream (DSCHART) via Refinitiv Workspace (formerly Datastream Advance) provides current and historical time series data on stocks, stock indices, bonds, futures, interest rates, commodities, derivatives, exchange rates, and economic data. The scope is global in coverage and depending on the series, most market data is available on a daily basis; and most economic data is available on a  monthly or quarterly one. ​

  • Due to the limited number of individual seats available for Datastream, access to individual seats is restricted to current BC Faculty (personal and class accounts), PhD and Masters level students. Research assistants working for faculty may also request accounts with faculty approval. 
  • For all other active BC community members, O'Neill Workstation D1 has Refinitiv Workspace, Datastream, and the Datastream Excel add-in installed and is available for use.
