Today's Market Pulse
Thursday, April 16, 2026 — a daily snapshot of US stocks, Treasury yields, and crypto prices. Updated hourly. No signup, no ads, no noise.
US Stock Market Indices
The three headline US stock indices. Most broad-market index funds track one of these. When people say “the stock market is up,” they usually mean the S&P 500.
US Treasury Yields
Interest rates the US government pays to borrow. The 10-year yield is the benchmark that drives mortgage rates — when it rises, mortgages get more expensive. Use our mortgage calculator to see how today's rates affect your payment.
Top Cryptocurrencies
The two largest cryptocurrencies by market cap. Crypto is volatile — a 10% day in either direction isn't unusual. Size your position accordingly.
