I came across the StockCharts.com Market Summary page and have added it to my Daily News Briefing so that I review it on a daily basis.
The market summary page lists out a lot of information on one page. The different sectiosn include the major markets, major indices, sector ETFs, industry indices, international ETFs, world markets, bonds, commodities (gold, oil, and commodity indexes), currencies, market breadth, and bullish percent indicators.
You can also see this in a “market carpet” format, but I think I prefer the summary page as the carpet doesn’t add any value by spatially organizing the different segments. The market carpet does have some nice features… being able to click and see a 2 month graph is a nice feature of the market carpet that you may find useful, and being able to see market strength across all sectors at once is nice.
