Palanor reads stock markets outside the United States from official open data, never from a market-data vendor. Where a government or regulator publishes the data under an open licence, it is used; where it doesn't, the market is left out and the reason is recorded.
Share prices in 47 economies
The World stock markets panel on Markets lists each economy's share prices from the OECD: a broad national share price index, averaged over each month and rebased so that 2015 = 100. Every OECD member is there, plus Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, South Africa, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, Russia and the euro area as a whole.
- 1y chg is the change from the same month a year earlier, in local currency. Rising markets read cyan, falling ones coral.
- The bar beside it uses one scale for every row, with zero in the middle.
- Index (2015 = 100) compares a market with itself over time. Across countries, compare the changes, not the levels.
These are monthly averages, so they lag a month and miss moves within the month. They are price only: dividends aren't included. Each is a signal (search the Library for *Japan share prices*), with history back to the 1950s for many countries.
Palanor does not show exchange index levels such as the DAX, the Nikkei 225 or the S&P/ASX 200. Their owners license them, and the central banks that republish them don't pass that right on.
Taiwan, every listed company, daily
The Taiwan Stock Exchange and the Taipei Exchange publish each day's closing prices and each company's issued shares as open data. Palanor stores every listed company's close and computes three composites:
- All listed, main board and OTC market: each company's daily return from the exchange's reference price, weighted by market value, chained from 100 on 21 October 2026.
- Total market value in New Taiwan dollar trillions, and the share of stocks that rose on the day.
These are Palanor calculations, not TAIEX or the TPEx index, and won't match them exactly: they weight by issued rather than free-float shares. The open data carry only the latest day and the exchanges sell their history, so the composites start in October 2026 and become public once they hold eight readings.
Brazil's listed companies
Brazil's securities regulator (CVM) publishes every listed company's annual statements as open data. From them Palanor reads each company's revenue, operating income, operating cash flow, capital spending and free cash flow for every fiscal year since 2010, and adds them up for the listed sector as a whole: total revenue and capital spending, the operating margin, the free cash flow margin and capital spending as a share of revenue. Banks and insurers are left out of these (they report no sales).
Company Dossiers outside the U.S.
Companies listed in Brazil and Taiwan have Company Dossiers too, under their exchange code with a suffix: *PETR4.SA* for B3, *2330.TW* for the Taiwan Stock Exchange, *6488.TWO* for the Taipei Exchange. A Brazilian company's Dossier shows its fiscal-year figures in reais and its peers in the same sector. A Taiwanese company's shows its daily close, market value and peers in its exchange industry. Each is joined to the company graph by its LEI when GLEIF has one, matched on the company's registration number, never on its name.
The Entity Screener has a matching type, *Listed outside the U.S.*: filter by country, exchange and sector, and sort by revenue, margins or market value (converted to US dollars at the Federal Reserve's H.10 rate). It is on screen only: the Brazil figures are licensed under the Open Database License, so there is no CSV download and no API access for this type.
Where they come from
- OECD Financial market statistics: CC BY 4.0.
- Taiwan Stock Exchange and Taipei Exchange: the Open Government Data License, which requires the credit on every chart and page.
- CVM Portal de Dados Abertos: the Open Database License. Palanor shows these figures with the credit but doesn't pass them on through the API, because the licence requires any public copy of the database to carry the same licence.
- GLEIF: CC0.
Not covered yet. Korea's government price feed is licensed for non-commercial use only, so Korean prices would need a licence from the Korea Exchange. Japanese and Korean company filings need registered API keys. Filings from the EU's ESEF repository are under review.
In the API and MCP
/v1/world-share-prices and palanor_get_world_share_prices return every economy's latest share price index and its change over a year, plus the Taiwan composites once they are public. Each series is also a signal at /v1/signals/<slug>. The Brazil figures aren't in the API.
