Earlier we highlighted historical market performance one-year after Presidential election days. Below we provide a chart of how various asset classes have performed since the 2008 election. As shown, the US Dollar has declined 10%, while the 10-Year Treasury yield has declined 6.6% (Treasury bonds have gone higher). The Dow and S&P 500 have seen minimal gains, while oil is up 12.9%, the tech-heavy Nasdaq is up 15.3%, and gold is up the most at 43.5%.

It's confusing to put "Treasury Yield" on a chart that otherwise indicates price performance. The price change for the Treasury should be included instead.
