Markets, live.

Six live-quote dashboards covering the assets people actually trade — stocks, crypto, forex, commodities, treasury yields, and the major indices. Each section is its own SEO surface so search engines and AI crawlers can deep-link straight into the slice that matters.

Why this exists

Every "free quote" page on the open web has the same trade. Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, and CNBC fund themselves with a thick layer of ads, autoplay video, popup newsletter prompts, and behavioral tracking. The quote is hidden inside a 2 MB page. Bloomberg, the Financial Times, and Reuters Eikon put real-time data behind subscription walls that start at $40/month and climb from there. Brokerages like Fidelity, Schwab, and Robinhood show clean quotes — but only after you create an account, hand over a Social Security number, and accept a margin agreement. None of that is necessary for the basic question: what is the price right now?

WeSearch Markets is built for that basic question. No login. No ads. No tracking pixels. No newsletter dialog covering the chart. Just the price, the daily move, the daily range, and the timestamp the quote was last refreshed. The page weighs less than 60 KB. It loads on a 2017 phone over LTE in roughly half a second. If you came here from a Google search that promised a quote and then buried it under ten pop-ups, you'll notice the difference immediately.

The data behind the quotes

WeSearch races multiple independent providers in parallel for every symbol and serves whichever responds first with a usable quote, falling back to the next source if a provider is rate-limited, geographically blocked, or down. This is the same architectural pattern professional terminals use — except instead of paying for one expensive feed with a service-level agreement, the public web has plenty of free, redundant feeds, and racing them yields a feed that's typically more reliable than any single source. The chain is roughly:

• Equities and ETFs: Yahoo Finance chart API, Finnhub free tier, Stooq end-of-day, then ETF proxies (SPY, IWM, etc.) when an index is throttled.
• Crypto: CoinGecko public, CoinPaprika, CoinCap, and Binance's public ticker endpoints — each completely independent, so a CoinGecko outage does not take down BTC pricing.
• Forex: Frankfurter (which republishes ECB-published rates) and Yahoo's currency endpoint, with Stooq as a daily-close fallback for less-liquid pairs.
• Commodities: Stooq daily settlement, Yahoo continuous front-month futures, and the CBOE quote feed for VIX.
• Treasury yields: Yahoo Finance ^IRX/^FVX/^TNX/^TYX/^TBX series.
• Indices: Yahoo Finance for the index level itself when available, or the corresponding tracker ETF (SPY for ^GSPC, EWU for ^FTSE, EWG for ^GDAXI, etc.) when the index is regionally throttled. Cards explicitly mark "(via SPY)" when proxied so you always know what you're looking at.

Quotes refresh every 60–90 seconds during their respective trading hours. Crypto refreshes 24/7 because crypto markets are 24/7. The page does the refresh in the background and patches in new prices without a full reload, so the layout doesn't jump and your scroll position is preserved.

What each dashboard is for

/markets/stocks — the default for "I just want to see what NVDA is doing." Sixty-plus tickers organized by sector: tech mega-caps, AI/chips, banks, energy, consumer, healthcare, industrials, and a small selection of international names. Click any card to land on a per-symbol page with breadcrumb, ticker, name, last, change, day range, and a small "what this is" blurb that explains the company without forcing you to read a 1,000-word "AAPL price prediction" article farm.

/markets/crypto — the top dozen by market cap (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE, LINK, AVAX, MATIC, DOT, LTC, BNB) with USD pricing. Updates every 60s without an API key on your side. Use this if you want to glance at the market without opening a Coinbase or Binance app and being upsold on a margin trade.

/markets/forex — major USD pairs against EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF, AUD, CAD, CNY, MXN, INR, BRL, ZAR, and TRY. The reference rates are published by the European Central Bank and re-served via Frankfurter, with Yahoo Finance covering the cross-rates ECB doesn't publish. The most-bookmarked use case here is travelers checking the currency they're about to land in.

/markets/commodities — front-month futures and spot prices for WTI, Brent, gold, silver, copper, natural gas, platinum, palladium, wheat, corn, soybeans, and coffee. The page that gets traffic when oil moves on geopolitics or when a USDA report shifts the grains.

/markets/yields — the US Treasury curve (3M, 1Y, 5Y, 10Y, 30Y). The risk-free rate against which every other asset is implicitly priced. The 10Y is the single most-watched rate in global finance; the 3M-vs-10Y spread is the canonical recession-watch indicator.

/markets/indices — the S&P 500, Dow, Nasdaq, Russell 2000, and VIX for the US; FTSE 100, DAX, CAC 40, Nikkei 225, and Hang Seng for the rest. When an index is regionally throttled (Yahoo rate-limits non-US indices aggressively), the card switches to the corresponding tracker ETF and labels itself accordingly so the price you're seeing is always real and the source is always disclosed.

How to use this well

1. Bookmark the section, not the homepage. If you only watch crypto, bookmark /markets/crypto. The page is its own SEO surface, so search engines deep-link to it directly when someone types "BTC price" or "ETH live."
2. Open per-symbol pages for the few names you actually trade. Each per-symbol page is genuinely useful as a "tab in your work browser" — small enough not to bog down a session, factual enough to glance at every hour.
3. Read the markets news hub alongside the dashboards. The /business and markets-news hubs aggregate WSJ Markets, Bloomberg Markets, Reuters Markets, FT Markets, and CoinDesk in chronological order. The dashboard tells you the price; the hub tells you why it moved.
4. Don't expect this to replace a professional terminal. WeSearch Markets is built for the casual reader, the working professional who isn't a trader, and the journalist who needs a quick sanity-check on a number before publishing. Day traders should pay for a real feed; this is for everyone else.

What this is not

This is not a brokerage. You can't trade from here. There's no "Buy" button anywhere on WeSearch. We don't take affiliate commissions on broker referrals and we don't run sponsored content from financial firms. We don't show you "trending tickers" based on what other readers are clicking — that surface is famously the worst possible way to make trading decisions, because it inverts the signal: the moment something becomes "trending" is the moment retail piles in and the move is over.

This is also not investment advice. Nothing on these pages is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. WeSearch publishes prices and links to news; what to do with that information is yours to decide, ideally with a fiduciary you've actually paid for advice.

Why "no login" is the whole point

Modern finance media has converged on a single business model: capture an email or a payment method, then run as many lifecycle marketing campaigns as the customer will tolerate. Even sites that look free are typically free for a 7-day window and then aggressive with the upsell. WeSearch is built on the inverted principle — that there is real public-interest value in a free, fast, anonymous quote page that asks for nothing. The rest of the site (community discussion, anonymous comments, a privacy-respecting reader experience) is built on the same principle. About WeSearch walks through how this is funded — small recurring donations and a small paid Conduit API tier — without selling reader data or running display advertising.
