How it trades on rate days beta 0.57 to TLT · on the worst bond days it moved with the market

How it trades on rate days

How AXP has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.57 — tends to move with bonds for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), American Express Company moved 0.57% on average · correlation 0.21 · higher than 53% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.55 about the same as over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.59% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days +1.23% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Daily total returns from the adjusted price series; a TLT down day is a day long yields rose. Beta = the average move of the name for a 1% move in TLT. Past sensitivity, not a forecast. An investment diary, not a recommendation.

Company snapshot — American Express Company

AXP in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
American Express operates an integrated payments network, issuing credit and charge cards while also running the merchant acquiring and network services that clear those transactions. It serves consumers, small businesses and large corporations through four segments covering US consumer cards, commercial services, international card services and global merchant and network services. Beyond cards it offers banking products such as deposits and non-card lending, plus travel and lifestyle services bundled with its cards. It is headquartered in New York.
Where it sits in the stack
American Express carries no seat in our Rubin index and no Halo reading, so it sits outside the AI build-out stack; within our universe it belongs to the Financial Services sector, under Credit Services, as a payments and card-network name.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group has not been set for this name; the comparison the market draws is with Visa and Mastercard as network operators, and with Discover as the closer analogue among issuers that also run their own network.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
It is a Dow Jones Industrial Average constituent; it carries no Closelooknet score yet, and the diary has not quoted it in any edition so far.
What the diary watches
Whether the recent slide against its 50-day and 200-day averages, and the distance from its 52-week high, marks a pause or a longer drift lower.
