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

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.
