Description

The Bloomberg Terminal session, led by Mr. Prasad Ponkshe, Vice President of State Street, provided a detailed introduction to the Bloomberg Terminal’s extensive financial data and analytics capabilities, essential for global financial market analysis. Participants learned how to use core functions, such as stock research through identifiers like "Ticker" for Indian stocks and "CUSIP" for U.S. securities. Key commands were discussed, including "DES" for company descriptions, "MGMT" for management details, and "COMP" for comparing stock performance. The importance of taking screenshots of data using the "GRAB" command, as some data might change, was emphasized. Real-world applications were explored, including tracking Treasury Bills and analyzing yields. This workshop was a valuable learning experience, enhancing both students’ and professionals’ financial acumen, equipping them with the tools necessary for deeper market analysis and more informed decision-making.
