How it trades on rate days beta −0.48 to TLT · on the worst bond days it held up better than the market

How it trades on rate days

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

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year −0.48 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Dow Inc moved −0.48% on average · correlation −0.11 · higher than 4% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months −0.03 more rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days +0.11% 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 −0.31% 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 — Dow Inc

DOW 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
Dow makes basic and specialty chemicals for packaging, construction, transport and consumer goods, organised into three segments. Packaging & Specialty Plastics covers ethylene, propylene, polyethylene and related derivatives; Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure covers polyurethanes, chlor-alkali and vinyl chemicals, plus construction additives; Performance Materials & Coatings supplies paints, industrial coatings and silicone-based intermediates. It also runs a small property-and-casualty insurance and reinsurance business alongside its chemical operations. Dow is headquartered in Midland, Michigan.
Where it sits in the stack
Dow holds no seat in Rubin or Halo, so it sits outside our AI build-out framework; in our universe it belongs to the Basic Materials sector, within Chemicals, as a bulk and specialty producer rather than a build-out supplier.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group is not set for this name; the comparison the market draws most often is with LyondellBasell as a fellow bulk-chemicals producer.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Dow carries no Closelooknet score and has not appeared in any diary edition or quote; its only index seat in our data is the S&P 500, outside Rubin and Halo.
What the diary watches
The diary watches whether volumes recover in the packaging- and construction-linked segments, since demand there drives most of the swing in this business.
