THE NUMBERS / DATED OBSERVATIONS

The market, in motion.

How changes are calculated ↓
Daily, weekly and monthly: read the comparison

Percent change = (latest ÷ comparison − 1) × 100. Daily compares the previous published observation; weekly uses the latest on or before seven calendar days earlier; monthly uses the latest on or before the same calendar date one month earlier. Each card shows its comparison dates. Sources have different publication lags.

Green ↑ means the number rose; red ↓ means it fell. Neither implies a profitable move. For yields and policy rates, one basis point (bp) is 0.01 percentage point. Unchanged effective policy rates are 0.00%; an announced future rate is identified separately. Market quotes check for newer data while this page is open. Official daily comparisons retain their own observation dates. Silver spot bid is separate from its daily close history.

THE EDITORIAL APPROACH

A wider perspective.
A traceable source.

World Signal brings market news, economic releases and geopolitical developments into one reading experience. Every story links back to its reporting or original release.

Start with the evidence

Official releases and original documents sit alongside attributed reporting. A proposal is a proposal; a provisional result is a provisional result. Market context describes what to watch, rather than predicting a price move.

Keep time in view

Reporting additions through Nov 5, 2026, 08:04 UTC. Each report and observation retains its own date. Market snapshots may have different observation dates. The calendar lists dated releases; check each provider for schedule changes. The market data panel checks the automatic feed separately; its source dates and freshness status remain visible.

Read beyond the headline

Open a briefing to see its source links. The shipping image is an editorial illustration, not a photograph of the reported event. Saved stories stay in your browser; no account is needed.
