Key In-Play Factors for AGCO on August 31, 2026
AGCO's In-Play status on August 31, 2026, was attributed to several distinct factors:
- Gap: InPlay recorded AGCO trading 1.45% above its previous valid trading-session close. This 'gap_pct' is not an opening-gap calculation but represents the percentage difference between the observed price and the prior close.
- Near Yesterday's High (Near YH): The stock was recorded near the previous trading session's high, indicating its price was sustained at higher levels relative to the prior day's trading range.
- News: News was identified as a contributing factor to AGCO's In-Play classification on this date.
- RVOL (Relative Volume): AGCO's Relative Volume (RVOL) was 0.79. RVOL is a metric that compares current trading volume to its average historical volume over a specific period. An RVOL below 1.0 suggests that the trading volume was lighter than its typical average.
