What this tool does

KOSPI and KOSDAQ, the major US, Japanese, Chinese and European indices, key exchange rates including USD/KRW, gold and crude oil, US Treasury yields, VIX and Bitcoin — 36 markets on one screen. Compare the latest value, the daily change, 1-week, 1-month, year-to-date and 1-year returns, where each sits in its 52-week range and its recent trend in a single table, and see which markets are open right now in Korea time.

How it is calculated

Prices come from Yahoo Finance through our server, which shares one cache among all visitors. For each market the tool loads one year of daily bars once and derives the returns, 52-week range and trend lines from it; markets that are open get a fresh last price every 60 seconds (the daily bars are reloaded every 5 minutes). The daily change is measured against the previous session's close (while FX, commodity futures and crypto are trading, against the previous-session close reported by Yahoo Finance, which for futures is the settlement price). The 1-week, 1-month and 1-year returns compare with the close on the same date 7 days, one month and one year earlier (or the last session before it if that day was a holiday), and year-to-date compares with last year's final close. Returns use the adjusted close, which equals the close for indices, currencies and futures. Rate changes are shown as percentage-point differences, not ratios. 52-week position = (latest − 1-year low) ÷ (1-year high − 1-year low).

The tiles at the top show the latest value, daily change and recent trend of the key markets. A green dot in the corner means the market is trading now.

'Markets open now' lists which markets are trading and each one's regular session converted to Korea time.

Click a tile or a table row to load it into the large chart. Switch between 1 day (5-minute), 1 year (daily) and 5 years (weekly), and read its position against the 20- and 60-period moving averages and its 52-week range.

In the full table, filter by group (indices, FX, commodities, rates, crypto) and click a column header to sort by return. The trend column can span 5 days, 1, 3 or 12 months.

Reading the screen, section by section

Status line and key tiles

The status badge at the top shows how many items are trading ('n open · refresh every 60s'), or 'All closed · checking every 5 min'. The ten tiles below depend on the page language; in English they are the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, Dow Jones, KOSPI, Nikkei 225, US Dollar Index, gold, WTI crude, the US 10-year yield and Bitcoin. Each tile shows the latest value, the day change and a small trend line, and a lit dot in the top corner means the market is open. The trend line follows the Trend period of the full table below (5 days at first) and its dashed line is the starting value. When requests pile up or the source does not respond and saved values are used, a notice appears above the tiles. Click a tile to load it into the main chart.

Markets open now

Stock markets in Korea, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Europe, the UK and the US, plus FX, commodity futures and crypto, are split into an Open row and a Closed row. Open or closed is the regular-session status Yahoo Finance attaches to each market's index quote, and the hours next to each name are its regular session converted to Korea time. Daylight saving time is applied by date, so the US shows 22:30–05:00 or 23:30–06:00. If a market is in its regular hours but reported closed, it is tagged 'may be a holiday'. The tool has no holiday calendar and ignores lunch breaks, so that tag is a guess. The clock in the corner updates every 30 seconds; open and closed change when the 60-second price responses arrive.

Main chart: latest value and time

Above the chart are the selected item's name and symbol, the latest value, the day change (amount and percent), open or closed, and the quote time. The quote time is the last update in the exchange's own time zone (Seoul, New York, Tokyo and so on), so it can differ from your clock. While trading, the value comes from the 60-minute response fetched every 60 seconds; otherwise from the daily bars. The day change compares with the previous session's close; FX, commodity futures and crypto compare with the previous-session close Yahoo Finance reports while trading (settlement for futures). Korean indices arrive about 20 minutes late, so KOSPI's closing value settles after its 15:30 close. Rates are shown as percentage-point differences. A 'saved value' tag means the source did not respond and the server is showing a stored copy.

Chart (1 day, 1Y, 5Y)

'1 day' shows 5-minute candles from the last session, '1Y' daily candles and '5Y' weekly candles, with two moving averages of 20 and 60 bars (20 and 60 days on daily, 20 and 60 weeks on weekly). Items with volume get volume bars underneath. In the 1-day view a dotted line marks the previous close and times follow your device's time zone. In the 1Y view the last candle is redrawn with the latest price every 60 seconds while the session runs, so its close, high and low are not final until the close. The 1-day view also reloads every 60 seconds while trading (server cache 60 seconds); the 5Y weekly data is fetched separately and cached on the server for an hour. A common mistake is to treat a forming candle crossing a moving average as a settled event.

Stat boxes and description

The five boxes under the chart are the previous close, the day range (today's low to high), the 52-week range, and the distance from the 20-day and 60-day moving averages. The 52-week range uses the past year's daily highs and lows plus today's intraday high and low, and the moving averages always use daily closes (the latest price for the last day) whatever chart view you pick. The sentence below states how far the latest value is above or below each average, where it sits within the 52-week range, and whether the 20-day average is above or below the 60-day. During the session these values move with every price update, so 'above the 20-day' before the close can flip within the same day. Rates are shown as percentage-point differences rather than percentages.

Today in brief

This box counts how many of the 15 Korean and global indices rose and fell, names the biggest gainer and loser, and the YTD leader and laggard, each on its own latest session. It then adds the day change in the dollar (US Dollar Index in English, dollar-won in Korean, dollar-yen in Japanese) and in the US 10-year yield, the share of VIX daily closes over the past year that were lower than now, gold and WTI prices, and the items within 2% of their 52-week high or low (rates excluded). The time in the header is the last reload. Each market has its own 'today', so during the Asian day the paragraph mixes yesterday's US close with today's Asian sessions. It restates rankings and facts and is not a trading opinion.

Index returns

The 15 Korean and global indices are lined up as bars, ranked by return over the chosen period (1D, 1W, 1M, YTD or 1Y; YTD at first). The center line is zero, bars to the right are gains and to the left losses, and bar length is scaled to the biggest mover. 1W, 1M and 1Y compare with the close on the same date 7 days, a month and a year earlier (or the last session before it), and YTD with last year's final close. Each index is in its own currency, so comparing the S&P 500 with KOSPI leaves out exchange-rate moves. On wide screens the ranking runs top to bottom in two columns. Click a bar to load that index into the main chart.

Full table

All 36 items are grouped into indices, FX, commodities, rates and VIX, and crypto, with the latest value, day change, 1W, 1M, YTD and 1Y returns, position in the 52-week range and a trend line. Under each name you see open or closed and the quote time in the exchange's time zone. Clicking a header sorts within each group, clicking again reverses, and Name restores the original order. The marker in the 52-week bar shows where the price sits between the 1-year low (left) and high (right), with the distance from the high below it. The trend period can be 5D, 1M, 3M or 1Y, and the tile trend lines change with it. Notes under the table explain units and day boundaries for each group (front-month futures for commodities, midnight UTC for crypto).

Keeping it open

Items that are trading get a fresh price every 60 seconds, and every 5 minutes the daily bars of all 36 are reloaded, which is also how the tool notices markets opening and closing. A good scan order is the open count in the status badge, Markets open now, the tiles, Today in brief, then the main chart for the index you follow. In Korea time, mornings bring the US close and the Asian open, Europe starts around 4 p.m. (5 p.m. outside European summer time), and the US regular session from 10:30 p.m. (11:30 p.m. outside US daylight saving time). Switching between KOSPI and the Nasdaq-100 or S&P 500 makes the time gap obvious. A return comparison tool, a sector returns grid and a currency converter in other tabs help trace where an index move came from.

Things to know

Sorting happens within each group. Click the same header again to reverse it, or click 'Name' to restore the original order.

'Index returns' are in each index's own currency, so they differ from the return a KRW-based investor would see by the currency move.

JPYKRW=X is quoted per 1 yen; the Korean page also shows the customary per-100-yen value.

Commodities are front-month US futures, so the chart can jump on contract roll dates.

Frequently asked questions

What is the daily change for a market that is closed?

It is the market's last session close against the session before it, so a market closed for a holiday keeps showing its previous session's move. When Yahoo Finance's daily bars are missing the previous session, the tool uses the previous close reported by the same source's intraday data. FX, commodity futures and crypto, which barely close, are compared while trading with the previous-session close Yahoo Finance reports (the settlement price for futures). US futures start a new session at 6 p.m. New York time, and crypto's day boundary is midnight UTC (9 a.m. Korea time).

The timestamps for Korean indices look late.

Korean prices arrive about 20 minutes late because of exchange licensing, and other exchanges have their own delays, so every row shows its as-of time in the exchange's time zone. After the close the timestamp is Yahoo Finance's last update, which can differ from the official closing time.

Why are yields shown in percentage points?

A Treasury yield is already a percentage. A move from 4.00% to 4.10% would read as a 2.5% rise if expressed as a ratio, so the tool shows the difference: 0.10 percentage points.

What does 'may be a holiday' mean?

It is shown when the market's regular session should be running but Yahoo Finance reports it closed. That is usually a public holiday, but the tool has no holiday calendar, so it only says 'may be'. Once the market opens the tool picks it up within a few minutes.
