• The label at the top says whether U.S. markets are open, in Pre-market trading, in After-hours trading or closed, and when the numbers were last updated.
• The five buttons are the S&P 500, the Dow, the Nasdaq, the Nasdaq 100 and the Russell 2000. Select one to draw its chart. Each shows its level and how much it has changed today.
• The range buttons run from 1D (today) to All (as far back as there is data). The chart works as it does on a stock's page; see Price charts.
• Full chart opens the page of the index you are charting.
• The six smaller quotes under the chart are the volatility index, the 10-year Treasury yield, crude oil, gold, bitcoin and the euro against the dollar. Select one to open its page.

Prices on the page refresh by themselves while the page is open, and a price flashes green or red when it moves. They are still delayed by up to 15 minutes. See How fresh the data is.
