Market overview: what kind of day it is

A written briefing on the current market, a map of the conflicts, storms and energy disruptions moving supply chains, and the macro backdrop underneath. It answers what kind of day it is before you go looking for individual companies.

Last updated July 19, 2026

The landing screen answers one question before you go looking for companies: what kind of day is it. A written briefing, the Top 10 against the market, a map of what is happening in the world, and the macro backdrop, in that order.

The Market Overview screen. A 'Welcome back' heading sits above an AI summary card with a 'See AI Summary' button. Below it, a Performance card plots the Returnolio Top 10 against the S&P 500 over one year, with range buttons from three months to MAX and a dashed marker where the live Top 10 starts. Beneath that, the header of the Global Event Map with its event counter and category filters. — The briefing first, then the Top 10 against the market, then the map. The performance chart is measured from the first date every line covers, and the note under it says so.

The briefing

The card at the top writes a short read on the current market, generated from the same data the rest of the app runs on. It carries the time it was written. See AI summaries for what that machinery is and is not allowed to do.

The event map

Conflicts, sanctions, storms, energy disruptions and health events, plotted where they happened and filterable by type.

The Global Event Map with an event counter in its header. Filter chips are grouped into Conflict and Policy (conflict, sanctions, energy), Natural Hazards (earthquake, storm, volcano, flood, fire) and People and Supply (health, humanitarian, drought, food and agriculture), with a 'Hide all' button. A world map plots the events as coloured dots sized by importance, with a few thin arcs joining the United States, the United Nations and Europe. — Every category switched on. Each dot is a reported event, coloured by type, and the counter in the header tells you how many are plotted. The chips are the useful part: hide everything, then switch on the one category that touches what you own.

The reason a stock research tool ships a world map is that the things which break a thesis (your reason for owning a stock) often start somewhere physical. A drought, a shipping disruption, a sanctions package. None of it shows up in a filing until the quarter after it mattered.

Context, not a signal

The map is background. It does not score events, rank them by market impact, or connect them to specific companies for you. It tells you what is happening so that you notice when something touches an industry you hold.

Macro snapshot

Underneath, the macro numbers: rates, the yield curve (the gap between what short-term and long-term government borrowing pays), inflation, and the indicators that set the backdrop everything else is priced against. Same idea as the map, in numbers rather than geography.

The same backdrop informs the Top 10, where judging whether the macro picture is hostile to a thesis is part of the human selection step rather than something a filter does.
