How it trades on rate days

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

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.66 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Intel Corporation moved 0.66% on average · correlation 0.07 · higher than 57% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months −1.10 less rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.49% on average against −0.72% 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 −2.09% TLT −1.32% that day 2026-11-10

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 — Intel Corporation

INTC 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
Intel designs and manufactures processors for personal computers and data centres, and it also runs a foundry that fabricates wafers and substrates for outside customers. Its client computing group sells CPUs and GPUs for PCs, its data-centre and AI group sells server processors and networking parts, and Intel Foundry handles wafer fabrication and packaging.

In our index, Intel sits in Layer 4, Infrastructure, within the Substrates & Interposers sleeve — the connective tissue linking die, package and board. Through Intel Foundry it is a supplier into this layer, and through its own chip designs it is also a customer drawing on substrate and packaging capacity elsewhere in the build-out.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group places Intel with IDMs and foundry challengers — AMD, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, GlobalFoundries, Nvidia and Qualcomm; the market also weighs it against Samsung's foundry arm.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Intel sits in the Rubin Build-Out 100 and the Nasdaq-100, and it carries a Closelooknet score with momentum as its strongest module and quality as its weakest. The diary has returned to it across dossiers and strategy pieces on the chip build-out chain.
What the diary watches
Whether foundry execution and yield narrow the gap with the largest contract manufacturer, and whether talent and cost pressures keep slowing the ramp of substrate and packaging volume.

Intel Corporation (INTC) trades on US exchanges, classified under Technology, and sits in Layer 4 of the build-out stack. Constituent of Rubin Build-Out 100.

  • Type / Scale — OHLC, line or area; linear or log price axis.

Picking a series

  • Tap the box in a cell's header to browse every Closelooknet series — headline indices, sub-indices, sectors, layers of all six families — plus the constituents.
  • Or type any ticker (NVDA, 7203.T, ASML.AS …) and press Enter — it charts in the cell straight from our data lake.

Studies

  • Overlays / Oscillators rows toggle the standard set (SMA, Bollinger, RSI, MACD …) per cell.

  • Delete key removes the selected drawing · Escape cancels a half-placed one · Clear wipes the symbol.

Wave counts

  • Wave places an Elliott count: tap the origin, then each wave end. Press Enter to stop early (inside wave 3 is fine) — dotted ghost targets sketch the remaining waves at guideline ratios.
  • On stocks the scanner's machine count appears automatically in grey — it is fully editable: drag any point, double-tap a label to remove it, Delete to dismiss it for good, Adopt to bring the machine's proposal back.
  • The sequence picker switches 1-5 / A-B-C / A-E / W-X-Y-Z; 1 2 3 cycles the degree; Subdiv starts a one-degree-smaller child count inside a wave.
