English translation:(a glance at the) overall numbers
Explanation:
"number wreath" would be a bit unusual in this context. It is used for e.g. for (gaming) roulette or in (watch) dials but I never heard of it in connection with stock markets. I would go with a less flowery solution, such as the one I propose above.

agree  Anne-Marie Grant (X): I think this is a good solution, but I would say 'figures' instead of 'numbers'

agree  Nikolaos Angelidis: yes. Zahlenkranz means a group or a "Haufen" of numbers. So there is no decent way to express this otherwise than the one you suggested. Using the word figures, as Anne-Marie said.

Explanation:
The expression appears to be indicative of a (general but positive) trend stats-wise rather than of specific figures.
