building on Lastlib's every Friday market metrics in Personal Finance and Investing Group
The Dow and Nasdaq have entered correction territory (down more than 10% from their all-time closing highs)
The S&P 500 closed Friday March 27 at 6369, down 3.2% for the day,
and up 10.1% from the 5783 election day closing level,
and up 6.2% from the inauguration eve closing level,
and up 8.3% since the December 31, 2024 close
and down 7.0% Year-To-Date (since the December 31, 2025 close)
and down 8.7% from its all-time closing high (6979)
Percent changes Last 7 days and last 3 weeks
(the yield changes are the percentage points differences,
e.g. for the 2-Y Treasury, it went from 3.91% to 3.93%. a change of +0.02%)
Treasury notes' yields up means the notes' values are down
as likely people's bond portfolios
Yikes on the yield changes! The 30 year mortgage rate is strongly correlated with the 10 year Treasury.
All time closing highs --
S&P 500: 6978.6 on January 27
DOW: 50,188 on February 10
NASDAQ: 23,857 on January 28
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 is still March 26, so I added the little version which is through March 27

The graphs above update automatically. So they are up-to-date a few hours after each close.
