5. Dow Jones Industrial Average: 50,866.78, down 695.49 (11.35%) -- I think the last number is (1.35%)

6. Last week, and last 4 weeks through 6/5

Percent changes Last 7 days and last 4 weeks (since May 8)


The yield changes are the percentage points differences,
e.g. if some Treasury went from 3.61% to 3.66% over the past week. then that is a change of +0.05%

Red numbers in ()'s are negative numbers, meaning the metric went down.

Treasury notes' yields up means the notes' values are down
as likely people's bond portfolios

Last week was bad: equity markets down, oil up, and Treasury yields way up

Last 4 weeks was mixed: Dow and S&P 500 up, NASDAQ down, oil down 4.68%, and Treasury yields way up (rising yields drop the values of people's bond portfolios. And mortgage rates closely follow the direction of the 10-year Treasury yield).

No comment about movements in precious metals and the dollar.

7. Carnage in Chip Stocks Hits Extra Hard in Top-Heavy Market - WSJ

Fears of rising interest rates collided with worries about artificial-intelligence spending on Wall Street Friday, bringing an abrupt and painful end to weeks of gains and sending the Nasdaq composite to its worst day in more than a year.

Stocks, bonds, oil, gold and bitcoin all tumbled. The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 4.2%—more than 1,100 points—in its worst decline since the tariff rout of April 2025. Micron Technology, Intel, Super Micro Computer and Sandisk lost more than 11%. Cisco and Nvidia both dropped more than 6%. Equipment maker Caterpillar, lately an AI play because of its power and energy business, fell 3.8%.
