Platform with good news updates

Then you simply do not know about news feed and news provider, I must guess.

"FxBuzz" is not available on the Xenith Reuters news feed, which is basically their entire FX news team. IFR markets is nowhere to be seen, Reuter's flagship rates and credit news product. Then the feed does not capture very important breaking news. I have not seen the breaking news of the US missile retaliation on Syria in a timely manner at all. When major pipelines burst that hugely affect oil prices in the short term that is nowhere captured in that dumbed-down Reuters news feed. If you do not believe me then check out Dow Jones newswire to get a taste of the many subsections they offer.

Check out attached the following link with mnemonics and see which ones are covered by the Xenith news feed:

When I tried xenith there was only the occasional story that was not accessible.
 
Again the search features in xenith are good, the feed itself is horribly limited. It is definitely NOT a premium feed such as IFR or the full DJ GI feed.

So Eikon seems to be a good solution, but expensive. What is IFR that you mention? And when you say the full DJ GI feed do you mean some products from here: https://www.dowjones.com/ plus this website https://www.newswire.com/features/distribution ?

Edit: For IFR I am guessing you mean the Reuters International Financing Review?

If you like old stale news with a deliberate 30 second delay imposed, thinkorswim has a free benzinga chat. really slow , delivered in a bad brooklyn accent
 
If you are only after news then The discounted Eikon is a bad choice imho, for that price and another 100 bucks and you get a top grade institutional news feed from Dow Jones either directly via their web app or as Windows install with Api capability via Newsware. Yes and yes to the latter questions.

What about the news available through interactive brokers ?
The research essantials bundle is lacking lots of info, even long time after a stock has moved. Is the Dow Jones Institutional news feed any better ?
There are a bunch of more expensive analyst packages offered through IB account management, so many i'm lost, and i'm looking more for a news feed to get an idea of why a stock moved than analysis on myriads of stocks, of which i would read a very tiny fraction.
