Global Equity Markets: Benchmarks by Region, US Sectors and Factors, and the S&P 500 at a Glance
The world's equity benchmarks grouped by region with the day's moves, the eleven US sectors and the main factors, movers, and the S&P 500 heatmap in one page.
The equity page puts the world's stock markets on one screen. The benchmarks are grouped by region, the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific, each with the day's move and a sparkline, so the handover from one session to the next is read from left to right across the page.
For the United States the page adds the eleven sectors with their day, week and month moves, the main factors, growth against value, large against small, high beta against low volatility, and the day's largest movers. A condensed S&P 500 heatmap sits beneath, with a link to the full-screen version.
Every row opens the symbol page for the index, sector or factor fund, with its chart and technicals.
