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 13)


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 a good week for everything (no comment on precious metals changes either way)

Last 4 weeks was good too except Treasury yields up a little (which means the notes' values went down and likely most people's bond portfolios). The good performance of equities over the last 4 weeks was entirely (and then some) due to the last week

I still haven't incorporated the dollar index yet. I'll probably put it in a couple weeks from now, when there is a value for 4 weeks prior, saving me the time to look it up.After I file my taxes, I will look at some formatting changes, to represent a positive percent change as e.g. +3.12% rather than just 3.12%.

All time closing highs --

S&P 500: 6978.6 on January 27
DOW: 50,188 on February 10
NASDAQ: 23,857 on January 28

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 is still March 26, so I added the little version which is through March 27

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