Two Finance pages cover markets outside stocks. Crypto ranks the 50 largest cryptocurrencies. Commodities lists the main futures for energy, metals and agriculture. Each row opens a page like a stock's, with a chart, news and your choice of tools.

#Crypto

Open Crypto in the Finance section bar.

The Cryptocurrencies page: the combined market value of the top coins and bitcoin's share of it, and a table of coins with price, changes over one hour, one day and seven days, range bars, market cap, volume and a seven-day chart

The 50 largest coins by market value. The totals above the table sum up the whole group.

  1. 1Total value of the top coins and bitcoin's share
  2. 2Changes over 1 hour, 1 day and 7 days
  3. 3Select a coin to open its page

At the top, two figures sum up the group: the market value of the top coins together, and Bitcoin dominance, bitcoin's share of that total.

The table gives, for each coin:

  • #: its rank by market value, and its Coin name and symbol.
  • Price, and the change over 1h, 24h and 7d.
  • 24h range and Off 24h high: where the price sits in the last 24 hours. Off all-time high is how far it is below its highest price ever. See Sort tables and read the range columns.
  • Market cap: the value of all the coins in circulation. Volume (24h): the value traded in the last day.
  • Last 7 days: a small chart of the week.

Select a coin to open its page. Coins trade around the clock, so a coin's page says As of the latest update, not At close.

#Commodities

Open Commodities in the Finance section bar.

The tabs are Energy (such as crude oil, Brent and natural gas), Metals (such as gold, silver and copper) and Agriculture & livestock (such as corn and wheat). Each row shows the price, the change, a small chart for the day and the day and 52-week range bars.

The prices are front-month futures contracts, meaning the contract that expires soonest. They are the standard way these markets are quoted, and can differ from the price for immediate delivery. A commodity's page adds Volume and Open interest, the number of contracts still open.

On the overview, the Commodities and Crypto cards in the side column show the main ones, with More and Top 50 links to these pages.

#Common questions

Can I buy bitcoin here?

No. Finance shows prices, charts and news. It does not trade.

What is "market cap" for a coin?

The coin's price multiplied by the number of coins in circulation.

Why does gold's price here differ from the price of a gold coin or bar?

Finance shows the futures price for an ounce of gold. Prices for physical gold include costs and markups.

Where are currencies?

On their own page. See Currencies.
