Use the Stocks app to track market activity and view the performance of stocks you follow. For any stock, you can see its most recent price, daily percentage change, market capitalization value, and more.
The list you see first is called the My Symbols watchlist. You don’t have to stick with it, though: you can add or remove symbols, create your own watchlists, and view charts, details, and news for each stock.
Siri: Ask Siri something like, “How are the markets doing?”
