How it trades on rate days

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

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.29 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Mizuho Financial Group Inc. moved 0.29% on average · correlation 0.09 · higher than 20% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months −0.15 less rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −1.17% 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 −1.68% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24
