Percent changes Last 7 days and last 4 weeks (since April 10)
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 all good.
Last 4 weeks was mixed (rising yields drop the values of people's bond portfolios
No comment about movements in precious metals and the dollar.
