How it trades on rate days

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

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.63 — moves strongly with bonds for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Moodys Corporation moved 0.63% on average · correlation 0.21 · higher than 56% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 1.07 more rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.90% 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 −1.37% 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 — Moodys Corporation

MCO 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
Moody's works as a risk-assessment company built around two units, Moody's Analytics and Moody's Investors Service. The Analytics unit builds credit models, economic data and cloud-based software for banks, insurers and asset managers. The Investors Service unit publishes ratings on corporate, financial, government and structured debt. Moody's is based in New York and was once known as Dun and Bradstreet.
Where it sits in the stack
Moody's carries no seat in Rubin, our AI build-out index; it sits instead in the financial-data and stock-exchange sleeve of our wider universe, among firms that supply market infrastructure rather than compute.
Who it is priced against
The diary holds no peer group for Moody's; the comparison the market draws most often is with S&P Global, the other major credit-rating house.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Moody's holds a seat in the S&P 500 but carries no Closelooknet score yet, and the diary has not quoted it in any edition so far.
What the diary watches
The diary watches whether ratings volume and analytics subscriptions move together, since a split between the two segments would change the read.

How to use this chart

Toolbar

  • Range — 1M to MAX on daily closes. 1D/5D switch a US stock cell to 5-minute intraday bars; index and foreign cells fall back to 1M daily with a note.
  • Grid — 1×1 up to 2×2. Cells are synchronized: pan or zoom one and the others follow the same dates; the crosshair tracks across all of them. 4 INDICES loads Rubin · HALO · AEI · AW40 side by side.
  • 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.
  • Levels (stock cells) draws the structure engine's support lines — regression bands, pivot cluster, SMA-200, the active fib zone.

Drawing

  • Tap a tool (Trend, Ray, H-Line, Fib, Channel, Rect, Note), then tap the chart once per point — the shape follows your finger or cursor between taps. The chart stops panning while a tool is armed; tap the tool again to release.
  • Drawings save per symbol in this browser and travel between the terminal and the asset page.
  • 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.
