$ macro-tui # recorded, at speed

macro-tui — a run through

A recording of macro-tui: the day's movers as cards under three macro story cards, one story opened in the reader, the full board of twenty-six instruments, the detail view for the Russell 2000 at one month and six months, the Dow 30 cohort, then the news.

Forty seconds, unedited — the movers and the stories behind them, a story read in place, the board, a chart at both ranges, the Dow 30, the headlines.

$ macro-tui --show board # fig. 01

macro-tui — board

macro-tui showing US indices, Treasury yields, commodities and FX with live prices, colour-coded moves and trend lines, beside a pane of market headlines.

fig. 01 — the board. Every row carries a live price, its move, and a month of daily closes.

$ macro-tui --coverage

us equity + vol: S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow, Russell 2000, VIX.
rates + dollar: 2 / 10 / 30-yr yields in bp, dollar index.
commodities: WTI, Brent, gold, silver, copper, nat gas.
fx + crypto: EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, BTC, ETH.
world indices: DAX, FTSE 100, CAC 40, Nikkei 225, S&P/TSX, FTSE MIB.
the dow 30: The average on the board, taken apart into the thirty names in it. What each one added to or took off the index in index points, since the Dow is price-weighted and a $800 stock moves it eight times as far as a $100 one. Plus where each sits in its own 52-week band.
news: CNBC top / economy / finance, merged + deduped, filtered to the selected row. o reads the full story in the terminal; c copies it as a 1600×900 image.

$ macro-tui --show detail # fig. 02

macro-tui — detail

The detail view for the S&P 500: last price and move, open, high, low and previous close, a 52-week range bar, a braille line chart of the last month, and related headlines.

fig. 02 — a chart scaled to the data, not to zero, plus the headlines that mention it.

$ macro-tui --show card # fig. 03

macro-tui — share card

A share card drawn as a terminal window running macro-tui: a plain frame, a CNBC Markets kicker and the date, a bold headline about the Treasury's bond buyback, three key points, and a ticker strip for the US 10-year yield with its level, move and a month of closes as bars.

fig. 03 — c copies the story as an image, ready to paste; a copy lands in ~/Pictures/macro-tui/.

Public and keyless — nothing to configure. Renders to stderr, so stdout stays free. Treat prices as indicative, not to trade against.
