Why are the X-axis and Y-axis fixed in the Sector Bubble Chart?

The Sector Bubble Chart is designed to give a quick view of sector performance in relation to risk. To keep this comparison consistent and easy to interpret, the X-axis and Y-axis are fixed and cannot be customised.

Unlike the regular Bubble Chart, which is meant for deep, multi-parameter analysis, the sector view focuses on comparing all sectors using the same set of metrics.

How the axes are defined in the Sector Bubble Chart

  • X-axis: Sector Beta for the selected timeframe, representing sector volatility
  • Y-axis: Price change (%) for the selected timeframe, representing sector performance

Using fixed axes ensures that performance and risk are evaluated uniformly across all sectors, making relative comparison faster and more meaningful.
