CNBC launches new technology for watching markets

Business news network CNBC launched Monday a data wall called the Real Time Exchange that allows it to provide market data to readers.

For example, a S&P 500 Market Heat Map gives traders a real-time look at the state of the stock market, highlighting individual stocks and sectors through a dynamic ranking of winners and losers. The stocks that are up are in green, and the stocks that are down are in red.

The Squawk Box Overnight Indicator displays U.S. futures, the major markets in Europe & Asia, U.S. Treasuries and key commodities.

The Global Market Map highlights all major markets by region, with real-time data in U.S., Europe and Asia.

Rival Fox Business Network rolled out what it calls the DataWizard back in August. It’s a similar data wall.
