Each sector row shows two different things, and they are meant to disagree.
The coloured figure is an equal-weighted average of that sector’s S&P 500
constituents — a breadth measure, every name counting once. The bar beside it is the sector’s
Select Sector SPDR and where it sits in its own day range — cap-weighted, so a
few giants dominate it. The gap between them is the information: on 5 October 2026 Consumer
Discretionary read +0.02% equal-weighted against +1.13% for
XLY, which is Amazon and Tesla carrying a sector whose average name went nowhere.
All eleven GICS sectors have an exact, liquid fund, so a missing bar there means a
fetch failed rather than that no index matches — and it says so. ETF groups
have no fund of their own, so they fall back to the same constituent-derived envelope
the Indian board uses for its eleven sectors with no matching NSE index: each member’s own
day low and high as a % move from its own previous close, averaged equal-weight. That bar is
drawn muted and dashed on purpose. It is an envelope, not an index — it
treats every member’s low as simultaneous, which no real index does — so read it as
“how far the average member travelled today”, never as a level.
Click an ETF group to open it and each member shows its own real traded day
range, drawn by the same component a sector row uses. No member is promoted to
“represent” its group — the real ranges belong to the funds, so that is where they
are shown.
Corporate actions are withheld, never guessed. A name trading across a split or
spin-off today has its percentage shown as NA and is left out of its sector
average for that session, because the raw print spans the event rather than measuring a move.
It is not adjusted to an estimate: only the historical series has a ratio worth dividing out,
and the next session is right on its own. A large move with no corporate event behind it is
never touched — on this market those are almost always real.
Tile colours use the per-stock scale in the legend; sector figures use a finer scale suited to
averages. Tap any tile for that security on Yahoo Finance.
