What is Global Markets Dashboard?
Global Markets Dashboard is a free, real-time financial terminal that displays live prices for every major asset class - equities, FX, crypto, commodities, bonds and sentiment indicators - all on a single screen. No account, no subscription, no Bloomberg terminal needed.
Built for traders, investors, analysts and anyone who needs to quickly read macro market conditions without switching between dozens of tabs or paying for expensive data services.
What does it show?
S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones, FTSE 100, DAX, CAC 40, Nikkei 225, Hang Seng - live prices with sparklines.
EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, USD/CHF, AUD/USD, USD/CAD, USD/CNH, NZD/USD - all 8 major pairs.

Every major news headline classified by AI for market impact. Wars, rate shocks and crises trigger instant on-screen alerts.
After-hours & futures mode
When US cash markets are closed, the dashboard automatically switches S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and Dow Jones to their respective E-mini futures (ES, NQ, YM) - so you always see a live price, not a stale close. On weekends, the last known closing price is shown with a "CLOSED" indicator.
Why is it free?
The dashboard is free to use with no sign-up required. It is supported by partner referral links from brokers and trading tools displayed as banners on the page. Clicking a banner and signing up with a partner may earn a small commission at no cost to you.
