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

Thursday June 18 is the last day of the market week because markets were closed Friday June 19 for Juneteenth.

Percent changes Last 7 days and last 4 weeks (since May 22)


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: 7609.78 on 6/2
DOW: 50,188 on February 10, and then in May and June has been lately setting frequent new 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

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 (usually).

There should be 4 graphs above. If you see little image squares and no graphs, right click on each such image square and choose Load Image.

1. There are prognosticators all over YouTube

Many of course focus on precious metals, commodities, MAG7, crypto .......... so don't take my guru's opinions for anything other than awareness of someone's perspective ......

I've been following this guy since 2012 when he had a website called In the Money Stocks. He's a sound technician

And I like this economist, though he's skeptical of all US parties at various points, but this one is worth the listen just for his idea there will be in regime change .... in the US!
