How it trades on rate days

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

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.44 — tends to move with bonds for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Intercontinental Exchange Inc moved 0.44% on average · correlation 0.17 · higher than 38% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.68 more rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.15% 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 +0.37% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Company snapshot — Intercontinental Exchange Inc

ICE 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
ICE runs exchanges and clearing houses for derivatives and securities, supplies fixed income pricing, reference data and indices, and offers a mortgage technology platform used across the US home-loan process. Customers span financial institutions, corporations and government bodies. It is headquartered in Atlanta.
Where it sits in the stack
ICE carries no seat in our Rubin or Halo indices, so it sits outside the AI build-out stack the diary tracks there. Within our wider universe it belongs to the Financial Services sector, in the Financial Data & Stock Exchanges industry, alongside other market-infrastructure and data names.
Who it is priced against
There is no set peer group from our index work; the comparison the market draws is with CME Group as the other large exchange-and-clearing operator with a data business attached.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
ICE holds a seat in the S&P 500 but no Rubin or Halo seat, and it does not yet carry a Closelooknet score. Our glossary entry on option-adjusted spread and a Daily Pulse note both cite its ICE BofA bond indices as the benchmark series for corporate credit.
What the diary watches
Whether the ICE BofA spread ladder across maturities keeps narrowing or widening, since the diary reads that move as a signal on how credit markets are pricing risk.
