This app allows users to chart rates for individual tenors as a function of time.

Instructions

  • choose the desired Start and End dates using the two date selectors
  • choose the desire Tenor from the dropdown menu (you may select them all if you wish)
  • click GO to render the chart for the chosen parameters
  • click the sparkle button to open ChatYCP and ask questions about the data (login required)

Notes

  • Start and End are pre-populated with the earliest and latest dates available, respectively
  • Tenor is pre-populated with short and long tenors from user preferences or system defaults (3 Mo and 10 Yr, respectively). Logged-in users can change these via Account Defaults
  • try asking ChatYCP: "What is the all-time high for the 10Y yield and when?" or "What was the average 10Y yield during 2023?"

Use Cases

  • visualize rates at different tenors as a function of time
  • compare tenors cross-sectionally at distinct points in time
  • identify high, low, and zero interest rate environments
  • gain a sense for the temporal evolution of the overall level of rates
