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
Last week was a mixed week: Dow down, other 2 equity indexes up, Treasury yields up (bad for existing bond portfolios), Dollar up, oil way up (no comment on precious metals changes either way)
Last 4 weeks was good across the board (no comment on precious metals, nor on the dollar down 1.8%)
