The Markets page is a dashboard that helps you:
- Check what’s moving in markets (indices, currencies, commodities)
- Discover the latest Rask research and podcasts
- Search over 5,000 ASX and US shares and ETFs
Market Pulse (indices, currencies, commodities)
At the top of the dashboard you’ll see Market Pulse tiles for key markets and instruments.
- Indices: quick “up/down” indicators and daily percentage moves for major regions
- Currencies: common FX pairs (e.g. AUD/USD, AUD/EUR)
- Commodities: selected benchmarks (e.g. oil, gold)
If an item is temporarily unavailable, we’ll show placeholders while the rest of the dashboard continues to load.
Open instrument pages from Market Pulse
You can click a Market Pulse tile to open a dedicated instrument page:
- ASX market overview: opens
/markets/asx - US market overview: opens
/markets/us - FX pairs: opens
/markets/fx/...(e.g. AUD/USD) - Commodities: opens
/markets/commodities/...(e.g. Gold, Oil, Iron Ore)
These pages include a chart and a quick summary so you can dig in without leaving the dashboard.
Compare market instruments
On supported market detail pages, you can add up to 3 comparisons to the main chart.
- With no comparisons selected, the page keeps the normal single-instrument price chart.
- Once you add a comparison, the chart switches into Price Return mode so different price levels can be compared fairly over the same period.
- Supported compare pages include stock/ETF research pages plus ASX, US, FX, commodity, and index detail pages.
For this first version, compare mode uses native quote currency price returns. That means the chart does not FX-normalise returns across currencies.
Latest from Rask
On instrument pages (e.g. indices, FX and commodities), you’ll also see a Latest from Rask section under the chart. This surfaces the newest insights and podcast episodes so you can connect market moves with what we’re publishing.
Searching the database
Use the search bar to find an investment by:
- Ticker Search: Type a code like
VASorMSFTfor an instant match. - Company Name: Type “Commonwealth Bank” or “Apple” if you don’t know the ticker.
- Sector Search: Type “Health” or “Technology” to see popular companies in those industries.
Research pages (charts, key stats, AI cheatsheets)
Clicking any investment opens a dedicated research page. Here you’ll find:
- Share price charts across multiple timeframes
- Key financials (market cap, P/E ratios, dividend yields, etc.)
- AI cheatsheets that summarise complex information into a readable “pros vs cons” view (where available)
Community notes (members only)
On investment research pages, you can:
- Write private investment notes for yourself
- Publish a note as a community snapshot (visible to other logged-in Rask members)
- Add images (graphs, screenshots) to help explain your thinking
- Upvote helpful community notes
Safety
- Please avoid posting personal information (contact details, account numbers, etc.).
- Images you upload into community notes are visible to other logged-in members. For private documents and sensitive files, use the Document vault.
- Notes are snapshots: if you update your private note later, you can publish a new snapshot.
Latest research and podcasts
The Markets dashboard also highlights:
- Latest Research & Insights so you can keep up with what Rask is publishing
- Podcasts so you can keep learning while you browse markets
Tips for better research

- Quick navigation: From the investment page watchlist dropdown, use View watchlists to jump straight to your watchlists.
- Read the “why”: Don’t just look at the price. Use the cheatsheet and research to understand the business.
