Where did the 10-year Treasury yield close on November 13?
The show opened with Sam Batayneh’s AI avatar at the Orange County desk, and Oliver had the numbers.
The 10-year Treasury yield closed at 5.15% on Friday, November 13, 2026, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve Rates. On November 5 it closed at 4.84%.
Its recent intraday high was 5.36%, on October 7, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance and CNBC. An intraday high is the highest reading during a trading day, which can be above that day’s close.
The 10-year yield is one of the figures housing watchers follow over time. One day’s reading describes that day only. It is not a forecast.
What was Sam’s quote of the day?
Sam Batayneh’s quote of the day: “The 10-year closed at 5.15 today. It looks like it may want to retest its recent high of 5.36.” (Sam Batayneh)
That is Sam’s opinion about a Treasury yield, not a mortgage rate and not a forecast. On the show, Sam’s avatar asked what you think of it.
How did stocks close on November 13?
Stocks finished mixed. The Dow rose 0.1%, the S&P 500 fell 0.4% and the Nasdaq fell 0.9% at the close on November 13, 2026, as reported by CNBC.
How is the Orange County housing market doing?
The latest county figures are for September 2026, from the California Association of REALTORS® September 2026 Home Sales and Price Report. Claire covered them from the Orange County desk.
Orange County’s median home price was $1,480,000, up 5.6% from a year earlier, with 30 days on market and 3.0 months of supply.
On the tech desk, Linh explained that last figure: months of supply is the number of homes for sale divided by one month of sales.
Which Newport Beach neighborhoods did the show tour?
Corona del Mar came first. Its older streets are named for flowers in alphabetical order, according to the Sherman Library & Gardens.
Balboa Island sits inside Newport Harbor, and a small car ferry, the Balboa Island Ferry, crosses to the Balboa Peninsula.
Lido Isle is at the harbor’s west end and has a single bridge, on Via Lido, according to the City of Newport Beach.
Newport Coast is southeast of Corona del Mar. It joined Newport Beach in 2002, City of Newport Beach records show.
In the show’s words: flowers, a ferry and a bridge. The tour gave landmarks, geography and history only, and no home values. See the Newport Beach page.
What did the athletes and entertainment desks say?
On the athletes desk, Andre noted that the Honda Center in Anaheim, home of the Ducks, opened in 1993, according to the arena. Andre’s general point: when pay comes only in season, keep the records.
On the entertainment desk, Nora noted that the Newport Beach Film Festival’s 27th edition ran October 15 to 22, according to the festival. Nora’s general point: when pay comes by the project, keep every contract.
