Methodology

VTI (total US market) and VXUS (total ex-US market), both daily, rebased to 100 at their shared start. The lines track total return (split- and dividend-adjusted close). A rising US line means domestic shares have outpaced the rest of the world over the window; a converging pair means international is catching up.
