## What is Briefdex?

A seven-minute audio briefing, every weekday at 6:30am. What the markets did overnight, what it means for your money, explained in plain English.

Markets before your first coffee.

Built on official data — NZX, RBNZ, Stats NZ, ASX, RBA and live market feeds — with daily editorial direction from a human. Every claim is checked against source data before it's published.

No jargon. No hot takes. Just what happened and what it means for your mortgage, KiwiSaver, shares and your wallet.

5 daily channels (available with subscription):
Daily Wrap — your complete morning market briefing
NZ Markets — NZX movements and local equity news
Global Markets — overnight US, EU and Asian market action
Trans-Tasman — AU/NZ cross-market coverage
Macro & RBNZ — interest rates, inflation, and economic policy

No ads. No fluff. Just the numbers and the context that matter.

Start your 7-day free trial — $19.99 NZD/month or $169.99 NZD/year after trial.

AI-scripted and voiced.
