Global Markets Dashboard

Because GMD never takes custody of money and never executes orders, it does not require - and does not hold - a brokerage licence from the FCA, CySEC, ASIC, NFA, IIROC or any other market regulator. Those regimes license firms that handle client funds or execute trades. GMD does neither, so there is nothing for such a regulator to license. There are no deposits on this site that could ever be at risk.

GMD only displays publicly available prices and sentiment data for reference. It is not financial advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell anything. When you actually want to trade, you do that through your own regulated broker - GMD is simply the screen you read before you decide, not a place where you transact. Always do your own research and consult a licensed financial professional before investing.

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.

Global Markets Dashboard streams live on YouTube at youtube.com/c/GlobalMarketsDashboard. Free, no sign-up, perfect for a wall display or office screen. Cast it to your TV via Chromecast, Apple TV or Fire TV.

When US cash markets are closed, the dashboard automatically switches S&P 500, Nasdaq 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.

You get the dashboard completely free - no sign‑up, no email wall, no friction. Just open the page and you’re instantly oriented.

To keep it free, I rely on partner referral links from brokers and trading tools. You’ll see them as small banners on the page. If you ever click one and choose to open an account or subscribe, I may earn a small commission - and it never costs you anything extra.

It’s a simple, quiet way to support the project without paying a cent. No pressure, no obligation. Whether you ignore every banner or click one someday, the dashboard stays free for you either way.

Every morning - and often at ridiculous hours when the markets decide to misbehave - I found myself chasing the same simple answer: what’s happening right now?

Not a chart.
Not a firehose of headlines.
Just the pulse.

Is the market leaning risk-on or risk-off.
Is the dollar charging ahead.
Are bonds screaming for attention.
Is crypto bleeding out.
What’s the VIX whispering - or shouting.

To get that picture, I was bouncing between four or five different sites like a caffeinated intern. Indices on Yahoo Finance. FX on another tab. Bonds somewhere else. CNN Fear & Greed buried in a bookmark. By the time I stitched the whole mosaic together in my head, the market had already moved on. The train left the station while I was still checking the platform number.

The problem wasn’t the data.
The problem was the friction - the time, the clicks, the mental overhead required just to get oriented. I didn’t want to shovel through tabs every time I needed a snapshot of the world. I wanted one screen that told me everything in ten seconds.

I couldn’t find that tool for free.
So I built it.

For the curious - and for fellow developers who land here looking for a real, in-production reference - Global Markets Dashboard is a live example of a modern .NET web app:

• ASP.NET Core 10 (Razor Pages) - the whole site runs on .NET 10. It is a working, real-world ASP.NET Core 10 example you can poke at in production, not a toy demo.
• SignalR over WebSockets - every price tick, sparkline, rate, sentiment gauge and breaking-news alert is pushed from the server to your browser in real time through a single SignalR hub. This is a concrete example of what a production SignalR website looks like under live market load.
• Material Design 3 - the dark, glass UI is a hand-built Material Design 3 (MD3) interface - fluid rem/clamp() type scale, MD3 colour roles and surfaces - so it doubles as a Material Design 3 showcase for a data-dense dashboard rather than a phone app.
• The rest of the stack - server-side data feeds (Yahoo Finance, Alpaca, FRED, CNN), Anthropic Claude for AI commentary and news classification, SQLite for lightweight analytics, Serilog for logging, and Docker for deployment behind nginx.

No SPA framework, no client-side build step - just server-rendered Razor, a SignalR connection and vanilla JavaScript. Fast to load, simple to reason about.

If the dashboard saves you time, a coffee keeps it running. Thank you.

Global Markets Dashboard is a free macro-overview alternative to paid and fragmented financial tools. If you need a real-time global macro dashboard - one screen showing everything that moves markets - GMD is built exactly for that use case.
