CNBC Question
I very occasionally turn on CNBC to see how my stocks are doing. At the top of the screen, they show the S&P, the Dow, and the NASDAQ change for the day. Sometimes they have one of these highlighted in yellow. What does that mean? I assume it means some sort of threshold was reached. One day this week, I noticed the NASDAQ box was highlighted. It had an big gain that day. But I've never noticed any of these boxes highlighted if it plummets, but then again, I don't watch it often.

I haven't seen yellow. Just green if it is up or red if down.

I believe that yellow indicates a significant move up or down.

The color highlight is manually added and exposes their bias. I've noticed Gold usually gets highlighted if down 2% or so, but routinely goes unhighlighted when up more than that.

Ahh, I thought you were talking about the color of the letters. I see you are talking about the fill color of the box the letters are in.
Looks like if down more than 1% it is yellow. NASDAQ, Russell2000 and DJT are yellow and down >1%
