Percentage change from 3/6 to 3/13
(the yield changes are the percentage points differences,
e.g. for the 2-Y Treasury, it went from 3.56% to 3.72%. a change of +0.16%)

-1.99% Dow
-1.60% S&P 500
-1.26% NASDAQ
+0.16% 2-Yr Treas
+0.13% 5-Yr Treas
+0.15% 10-Yr Treas
-3.05% Gold
-5.41% Silver
+8.80% WTI


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

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,  


Crude Oil


US Dollar Index (DX-Y.NYB)


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

There should be 3 graphs above. If you see little image squares and no graphs, right click on each such image square and choose Load Image.
