What a difference 6 years makes.
Why it spread
It spread because it hit a hot topic that week with an independent author, reaching 28,545 views, 153 likes, 30 reposts, 4 quotes, and 29 saves.
What worked
- The post text frames a dramatic six year contrast between the lowest 10-year Treasury yields in history below 1 percent in 2020 and the highest nominal yields since 2002 at 5.31 percent in 2026.
- The chart is a line chart that clearly shows Treasury yields reaching their highest levels since 2002 and 2008, with medium design polish and medium self labelling.
- The post is branded and shows a source line, and the account has top quarter source reach, which helped it travel beyond the author's usual audience.
What to borrow
We could use the same before and after framing with our own data by picking two dates that show a striking reversal, then pairing a simple line chart with a short text that names the exact high or low and the year it last happened.
Careful
Do not copy the low quote rate or assume the same post would spread for us, since the spread depended on a hot topic that week and an independent author, and we should not over read the saves or views as proof of chart quality.
