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.
