Tips

ASX, CXA and NZX indices are updated in real-time.

The global indices are updated shortly after their respective markets close trading for the day.

The NZX publish both standard and Total Return(Gross) style indices. You can include the NZX Gross indices in the list by selecting the NZX TR button in the Select section.

Hover over an index code to display the intraday chart for that index.

Drag the exchanges headline index code (e.g. XJO for the ASX) to a Watchbar so you always have the latest index value displayed on your screen.

Delta

The Delta is the difference between the current index price and the price as at the set delta period.

Setting a delta period and ordering by % Delta shows you a list of indices that have increased or decreased the most since the set delta time. This can be useful to find indices/sectors that are moving intraday.

Setting a delta period to longer periods, for example weekly or monthly, can be used to identify indices/sectors that are out or under performing over longer time frames.

Delta columns only appear in the tool if a delta period has been set.
