Last session Example data
Which sector had the most price action?
Every night we rank all 13 sectors by how far they moved in the last trading session, and link the biggest mover to the news behind it.
What does this number mean?
Each figure is the change in the sector's price over the last trading session, weighted by company size and based on the companies we track in that sector. It is not an index level. Choose Detailed to see how many companies each figure covers and which names moved most.
How it works
From a price move to the story behind it
Most tools show you the chart and leave the explaining to you. This one starts from the explanation.
See what moved
Every sector you follow, on one dashboard, with the day's change and how many companies it's based on.
Read what caused it
News, filings, government spending and geopolitical events are matched to the companies they affect, by ticker rather than by guesswork.

Our rules
We tell you when we don't know
Research tools fail quietly: a blank panel could mean nothing happened or nothing loaded. We built against that.
Unknown is never zero
If a number can't be read, the panel says so. A missing value is never shown as flat, empty or zero.
“It is unknown rather than empty.”
Numbers say what they are
A sector's daily change is a weighted average of the companies we track, not an index level, and each figure states how many companies it covers.
