How to check stock exchanges with Siri

 

 

Besides giving you information on different stocks, you can also ask Siri for information on an entire exchange, including NASDAQ, NYSE, FTSE, Nikkei, or others.

 

1. Press and hold down the Home button to launch Siri.
   
2. Ask Siri about the exchange you'd like information for by saying something like "What is the New York Stock Exchange's current position?" or "How did NASDAQ close?"
   
3. Siri will then present you with information about that specific exchange.
   
4. If you want more information, tap on the stock widget and Siri will automatically launch the built-in Stocks app.
