building on Lastlib's every Friday market metrics in Personal Finance and Investing Group

Percent changes Last 7 days and last 4 weeks (since March 27)


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

All time closing highs --

S&P 500: 6978.6 on January 27, which was surpassed in April and still setting all-time highs
DOW: 50,188 on February 10
NASDAQ: 23,857 on January 28, which was surpassed in April and still setting all-time highs

For a 6- to 9-month perspective, depending on which graph, I like pasting these in because the automatically update. I wish I had one for the S&P 500, but I don't, oh well.

Dow, Oil, and Dollar (last several months) - they update a few hours (like about 6 hours) after the close

The attacks on Iran began on February 28.

Dow 30,
3/28 3:04 PM ET - I don't know why the big one hadn't updated so I added the little version which was more up-to-date

The graphs above update automatically. So they are up-to-date a few hours after each close (usually).
