I saw the Morningstar image embedded in a page with today's returns. I've recovered the URL of the image (pasted in my post above the image). Checking if the image will be updated automatically tomorrow.
All they have to do is rewrite the image at morningstar. Each time you browse this page, it re-reads the image, so if the MarketBarometer.png is replaced, you read the new one. As an (electricity-wasting) experiment, if you leave your browser open pointing at this discussion, you will see it will stay the same until you refresh your browser. Or you could save the image and see that it is dynamically created. The saved image will stay the same.

Additional: Looks like it's working! At least the time seems to be changing...
