Dow, Oil, and Dollar (last 12 months) - they update a few hours (like about 6 hours) after the close

Dow 30,  


Crude Oil


US Dollar Index (DX-Y.NYB)


The graphs above and in the old Stock Market Watch update automatically. So they are up-to-date a few hours after each close.

Click LINKS TO GRAPHS (last Stock Market Watch - but note the graphs update automatically)
   Or look above at the top of this OP for the 3 most important graphs:: Dow, Oil, and Dollar (they also update automatically). The other 2 graphs available at the above link are two currencies: the Pound and the Euro

Re: Stock Market Watch - I always enjoyed scrolling through the graphs to see the trends, THANKS TANSY_GOLD !!!

Fortunately, since the embedded graphs update on their own, we can still see the latest (as of today's close, about 6 hours after the close) or as of the preceding day's close, from any SMW no matter how old.

Unfortunately the text (e.g. Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq) don't update, maybe there's a source for those that can be embedded and updates itself like the graphs, I'm not willing to type these in every day. Maybe weekly at the end of the week. I'll ask General Computer Help for any ideas if somebody doesn't have a solution here.

Myself, I look at the "ribbon of market values" at the top of https://finance.yahoo.com ,

S&P 500,   Dow 30,   Nasdaq,   Russell 2000 (small caps),   Crude Oil,   Gold,   Silver,   Euro,   10-Year Treasury,   Pound,   Yen,    Bitcoin,   XRP (some cryptocurrency thing),   FTSE (UK market),   Nikkei
US Dollar Index (DX-Y.NYB)

Trouble in paradise: Much of the time, after market close, when I click the above finance.yahoo.com   or   finance.yahoo.com/calendar link, it shows me futures. Sometimes that's what I want. But often I want to see the last closing price. And when the market is open, it shows the current moment's prices. That is usually what I want, but if I'm wanting to see the last closing prices, well, its additional work to get those, one at a time, e.g. click on Dow and then it will put up a page with last closing price and numerous other stats. Repeat above for the S&P 500 ... It's strange that in this day and age everything has to be so damn hard when it could be real easy.

Latest S&P 500 close, including its percent change since election day, since the last close before inauguration day, year-to-date, and since the February 19 all-time-high are updated daily at https://www.democraticunderground.com/111699775

Bonds Here's a mini-page on current yields of Treasuries: 13 week, 5Y, 10Y, and 30Y. https://finance.yahoo.com/bonds/
(The "CBOE Interest Rate 10 Year T No" is just the 10 year treasury yield. Why they couldn't label it "Treasury Yield 10 Years" -- the same as they label the 5 year version "Treasury Yield 5 Years", and the 30 year version "Treasury Yield 30 Years" -- I don't know

For more on bonds, see post#4 .

Latest Inflation graphs and summary table for all 3 major inflation measures: CPI, PCE, PPI (wholesale prices), both the headline "all items" version and the "core" version. The next update will be when the CPI comes out October 10 (followed by the PPI the next day). If I'm tardy in updating the above link, try my journal, it should be near the top.
