Bond duration

Last Update: 21/12/2024

The financial duration is an indicator of bond risk (volatility). As the duration increases, so does the risk of a bond’s price fluctuation due to a change in interest rates. By extension, the choice of a certain duration by investors tells us the degree of perceived risk in the financial markets and the expectations of interest rates. Let us see what information we can draw from this through our analysis.

Infos

How to read our analysis sheets. Each sheet presents a comparison between various financial assets that are part of a specific basket. For example, we may have all the industrial sectors in the S&P500 or the main categories of commodities in the CBOE basket.
The goal of our analysis is to assess how the various assets are performing by comparing them with each other and against a reference index. To do this, we use a series of technical and intermarket indicators, as well as volatility analysis and forecasting tools that employ models managed by artificial intelligence.
The result is summarized in a series of tables that present various information.

  • An assessment of the assets over different time horizons that provides a score for each individual element. The asset with the highest score is currently the one most favored by investors.
  • An analysis of the evaluations over time to understand their trends, i.e., whether they are improving or deteriorating, which allows us to evaluate the changing perspective of investors toward the various assets under analysis. This information is provided both numerically and through graphs.
  • A technical analysis of individual assets that allows us to assess the current situation, i.e., whether we are in an uptrend or downtrend, and adds the projected trend for the following week.
  • A comparative analysis of volatility, price forecasts, and evaluation results that indicates a trend for the assets in the upcoming week.

What is the purpose of this data, and how can I use it? The basic idea behind our analysis is to provide a concise overview of how investors are operating at the moment, what they are focusing on, and what they are avoiding. With the help of forecasting analysis, we also provide a trend of asset movements for the upcoming weeks. The analysis, as also shown by the simulation that accompanies each sheet, can be used as informational support for creating a short-term investment strategy.
