yld / ylm / ylr / ylk / dif,yrs,maturities — Plots Treasury yields for the selected maturities over the specified number of years.
• Example: yld,1,10 Yr,30 Yr — plots daily par yields for 10-Year and 30-Year Treasuries over the past 1 year.
Available Maturities:
• Nominal: 1 Mo, 1.5 Mo, 2 Mo, 4 Mo, 3 Mo, 6 Mo, 1 Yr, 2 Yr, 3 Yr, 5 Yr, 7 Yr, 10 Yr, 20 Yr, 30 Yr.
• Real: 5 Yr, 7 Yr, 10 Yr, 20 Yr, 30 Yr.
Examples: (the second entry is number of years to plot)
• yld — Daily par yields. Example: yld,2,3 Mo,2 Yr (3-Month Bill and 2-Year Note for 2 year period).
• ylm — Monthly par yields. Example: ylm,2,3 Mo,2 Yr
• ylr — Real yields. Example: ylr,2,3 Mo,2 Yr
• ylk — Combined nominal and real yields. Example: ylk,2,5 Yr
• dif — Implied inflation (Nominal - Real). Example: dif,2,5 Yr,10 Yr
• ylp/ylx — Bond returns based on Prices
Yield Spread Example:
• yld,3,10 Yr-2 Yr — plots the 10-Year minus 2-Year yield spread over the past 3 years.
• yld,3,10 Yr-2 Yr-SPY — plots the 10-Year minus 2-Year yield spread and SPY over the past 3 years. (Instead of SPY, it can be GSPC, GBTC, GLD, OR FFNOX etc, etc)
ylp,yrs,5 Yr,... — Estimates Treasury (On-the-Run) Government Bond Returns using par yield history over the past yrs years.
• Example: ylp,3,5 Yr,SPY — compares 5-year bond vs. SPY over 3 years.
• Example: ylp,10,10 Yr,30 Yr — compares 10-year and 30-year treasuries over 10 years.
(adding _CPI to any ticker will adjust it down for inflation)
• Example: ylp,3,5 Yr,SPY,@100 will show 100-working day correlation of returns between SPY and 10 Yr bond
ylx,yrs,5 Yr,... — Same as ylp, but Government Bond Returns are based on real yield (TIPS) curves - BUT PRICES ADJUSTED UPWARDS FOR CPI
(adding _CPI to any ticker will adjust it down for inflation)
• Example: ylx,3,5 Yr,SPY,@100 will show 100-working day correlation of returns between SPY and 10 Yr bond (PRICES ADJUSTED UPWARDS for CPI)
Historical Yield Curve Evolution:
• Format: yld,date1/date2/num
• Example: yld,2021-01-21/2025-01-21/251 — plots yield curves between the two dates with 251 working-day intervals.
• Example: ylr,2021-01-21/2025-01-21/251 — same for real yields.
(Note: num must be a multiple of 10.)
Fitted Yield Curves (single date):
• yly,2025-05-02 — plots fitted nominal and real curves for that date.
Other ways to specify years are:
Year - eg: 2022 will use data from 1/1/2022 to 12/31/2022
Year range : eg: 2021-2023 or 2021-23 will use data from 1/1/2021 to 12/31/2023
YTD : year to date
Years : 2 will show data from 2 years ago, 2.3 will data from 2.3 years ago, 3.5-6 will show data from 6 years to 3.5 years ago
Months : 3M will show data from 3months ago, 3M-7M will show data from 7 months ago to 3 months ago
daterange : 20210912 will show data from 9/12/2021 till today. 20210912-20231231 will show data from 9/12/2021 to 12/31/2023
