How to read these cards

The arrow, percentage, and trend line follow the price like any quote: green up, red down. The chip interprets the move for risk appetite. For the VIX and the 10-year yield a rising number is risk-off, so those two can pair a green rise with a red chip. The VIX bands are a conventional rule of thumb, not a forecast.

On 1D the change is measured from the previous session's close, the way a quote screen does it — so a card can show a fall while its line rises across the day, and the other way round. Longer ranges measure from the first point shown.

What sits behind this

The reading is four components of the benchmark index, weighted and combined by a fixed method rather than a judgement call. The methodology sets out exactly how, including how often it refreshes.

For individual companies rather than the market as a whole, see who reports when, the metric glossary, or the valuation calculators.
