Percent changes Last 7 days and last 4 weeks (since April 24)
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 mostly good: equity markets up, oil down, and Treasury yields mixed
Last 4 weeks was mixed: rising equity markets, but oil up 2.23% and Treasury yields way up (rising yields drop the values of people's bond portfolios. And mortgage rates closely follow the direction of the 10-year Treasury yield).
