Line graphs

Line graphs express change over short - and long time periods, such as stock price performance.

Where small changes exist in a dataset, line graphs emphasize exact values, so are better to use than bar charts.

Line graphs can also be used to compare change over time for more than one group, giving you multiple lines on one graph. Remember, all lines should express a response to the same question.

Resilient assets in an environment of uncertainty max out at seventy

The coronavirus outbreak is set to deliver a sharp and deep economic shock. Market moves are reminiscent of the 2008 crisis, but we don’t think this is a repeat. String some containment and social distancing policies will bring economic activity to a near standstill, but provided aggressive fiscal and monetary policy actions are taken for business.

    Money is the main cause of stress in the UK

    Every year, we ask people from all over the world, including UK, how they think and feel about their financial health. This year, we went deeper than ever to understand the connection between your wealth and well-being. And why you feel the way you do.

     

    Nearly half of those surveyed said that money is a major cause of stress. The figure increases to two-thirds among those without savings or investments. Respondents with savings are less likely to be stressed about money...

     

    …and respondents with investments are even less likely to be stressed.
