The Global Markets Dashboard shows every major market live on one screen: indices, crypto, forex, commodities, bond yields and market sentiment. It is free, with no sign-up. This short guide covers how to get the most out of it on desktop and on mobile, plus how to install it as an app and show it on a TV.
On desktop
- Rotating panels. Each card cycles through more instruments on its own, so you see extra markets without extra clutter.
- Info icons. Tap the info icon on any instrument for a quick, plain-English explainer of what it is and what moves it.
- News in place. Turn any card into a live market-news feed. Your choice is remembered across refreshes, so you can keep headlines exactly where you want them, and you can cancel it any time to bring the market card back.
- Knowledge hub. Open the menu on the left edge for in-depth guides on AI, quantum, interest rates, metals and more.
- Fullscreen. Switch to fullscreen for a clean wall-display view, ideal for a second monitor or an office screen.
- Reorder cards. Drag a card by its title to arrange the layout the way you like. Your order is saved on your device.
- AI Mood and Calendar. Open the AI Mood chip for a short, AI-written market read, and the Calendar chip for the month's key US economic releases.
- Light or dark. Use the sun and moon toggle in the top bar. Your choice is remembered on your device.
On mobile
- Overview first. The dashboard opens on an at-a-glance overview: the fear gauges on top, then the headline instrument for every market as a compact live card.
- Bottom navigation. Move between Global, News, Calendar and About using the app-style bar at the bottom.
- Swipe the sections. In Global, use the pill tabs to jump between indices, crypto, commodities, forex, bonds and sentiment.
- Info icons. Tap the info icon on any instrument for the same plain-English explainer as on desktop.
- News and Calendar. The News tab shows a full feed with images and filters. The Calendar tab lists key economic releases with add-to-calendar reminders.
- Bigger screen. The dashboard is even better on a large screen. Open it on a computer, or cast the live stream to a TV.
Install it as an app
The dashboard is an installable app, so you can launch it from your home screen or desktop like any other program:
- Desktop (Chrome or Edge). Use the install icon in the address bar to add it to your desktop.
- Phone. Use your browser's Add to Home Screen option to pin it with its own icon.
- Windows. Install the dedicated Windows app from the Microsoft Store, which opens full screen with no browser tabs.
Show it on a TV
Two easy ways to put the markets on a big screen:
- Fullscreen on a connected screen. Open the dashboard on a computer wired to a TV or monitor and switch to fullscreen for a live wall display.
- Cast the live stream. Open the free 24/7 live stream and cast it to your TV from the YouTube app. It works with Chromecast, Apple TV and Fire TV.
