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.
