How this is calculated
  • −3.0σ against global banks and financial companies (IXG): the close sat outside ±2.5σ of the residual over the last 60 trading days (σ = 1.22%).
  • Priced in US dollars on the NYSE; the country's own market had closed hours before this print.
  • The currency part (GBP against the dollar +0.6%, 2.2σ) and the company's part net of its sector and its currency (−4.3%, 3.5σ) are each tested at 2σ against their own 60 sessions. The currency is read at the European Central Bank's daily exchange rate (about 16:00 CET), so its last six hours before the close are not in it.

How this is calculated
Price
Finnhub's live trades in US hours, one tick per second; the daily bar from one quote at 16:15 New York, with open, high, low and close but no volume.
Chart
Daily closes as stored, each divided by the close on 1 Jul and multiplied by 100, for LYG and IXG alike: the first session both have a close. It grows by a session each day.
Unusual
The move left after subtracting global banks and financial companies (IXG)'s, measured against the last 60 trading days (σ) and recomputed nightly. A close beyond 2.5σ is an unusual move; beyond 5σ, an extremely unusual one.
Sessions
Every session from 16 Oct has been checked. The bars begin earlier, backfilled from the same feed, but nothing before that date was tested, so the count does not reach back past it.
Country
The business country the US regulator's filings give the company: United Kingdom.
Currency
Where the European Central Bank publishes the country's exchange rate, the same day's rate separates the currency's move from the stock's; where it does not, the move says why.
News
Fetched because the move was unusual, never on a timer; every outlet that names the subject is kept, split at the close.
