Asia-Pacific indexes had a mixed day with the Shanghai Composite up 0.44% Nikkei down 0.85%. European indexes fared better -- the EURO STOXX 50 rising 1.39%. The S&P 500's 0.41% gain didn't match the European enthusiasm, but it extended its rally to six days, the longest since its 7-day advance in early September of last year. Year-to-date the index is up 1.69% and only 0.60% below its record close on April 2nd.
The yield on the 10-year note finished at 2.73%, unchanged for the three sessions and 13 bps off the 2014 low of 2.60%.
Here is a snapshot of the past five sessions.
