We created this dashboard to make it easier for traders and investors to access and evaluate crucial stock market data fast. Our objective is to offer a simple and user-friendly interface that makes it simple for consumers to spot trends and take wise judgments.

The latest updates to the dashboard include:

1. Adding a moving average function to Tab 1.
2. Incorporating a checklist option in Tab 1, allowing for the generation of multiple moving average trends simultaneously.
3. Modifying the growth rate calculation method in Tab 2.
4. Introducing hovertext in Tab 2. Each sector's bar will now display the top 5 companies, sorted by ascending growth rate, when hovered over.

The primary components of our dashboard are a sidebar on the left and 3 tabs on the right. In addition to time selectors for deciding what time period should be shown on the graphs, the sidebar provides general information about other stock markets in the world.
