Oct. 24:
Interest rates tumbled during the day yesterday. It was partly a flight to quality given the uncertain status of the conflict in the Middle East, and partly a sense that the selloff that caused the 10-year Treasury yield to briefly breach 5% was went farther than necessary.
As of this morning, yields appeared to be stabilizing at these lower levels. The Dow traded up.
