1. Treasury 10 year - lowest yield it's been in about 1 1/2 years except for one day last October, and before that

hasn't been at or below this level since Sept 2024.

Great news for those with intermediate bond portfolios who have suffered mightily for about 5 years now.

5 years ago, the yield was about 1.55%

For bonds, when yields rise, prices/values fall.

For people without substantial intermediate or long-term stuff, but have new money to invest, the drop in yields is of course unfortunate.

2. Perhaps add the change of the index in addition to value. Like +125.58, or something.

Thanks for gathering this info.

3. If you do add change from the previous Friday or whatever, I would much rather it be a percentage change /nt

4. A very good point

That would be best for stock indices and commodities prices, but not for the bond yields, which could cause confusion.
