25 national equity indices, coloured by today's move. Tile area is logarithmic in each market's approximate capitalisation — on a linear scale the United States would swallow the map and every smaller exchange would vanish, so bigger is still bigger here, but readably so. Region figures are capitalisation-weighted. Below the map, the rest of the financial market: US style segments and world equity, the rates and credit complex, real assets and the dollar, and the reflexive corner. Those tiles are equal-sized on purpose — no size encoding is honest across a yield, a credit spread and a currency. Colour is the direction of the price; a ↕ marks the ones where a rise is a tightening signal rather than good news. Refreshed every two hours; click any tile for research. 1 market(s) unavailable this cycle.
