How it trades on rate days beta 0.28 to TLT · on the worst bond days it moved with the market

How it trades on rate days

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

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.28 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Nasdaq Inc moved 0.28% on average · correlation 0.10 · higher than 21% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.93 more rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.76% 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 −0.93% 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 — Nasdaq Inc

NDAQ 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
Nasdaq runs stock and derivatives exchanges and sells the data, indices, and compliance software that surround them. It lists companies, matches trades in equities, options, and other instruments, and licenses Nasdaq-branded indices to fund managers. It also sells anti-fraud, surveillance, and risk-management software such as Verafin and Calypso to banks and other financial firms, and provides colocation and connectivity services to trading firms. It is based in New York and has operated exchange and technology businesses since it separated from the original Nasdaq stock market.
Where it sits in the stack
Nasdaq carries no seat in our AI build-out index; it sits in the diary's financial infrastructure sleeve, alongside exchange operators and market-data vendors rather than the semiconductor or data-centre supply chain.
Who it is priced against
The diary has not set a peer group for Nasdaq; the comparison the market usually draws is with Intercontinental Exchange and CME Group as the other large exchange-and-data operators.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Nasdaq sits in the S&P 500 but has no seat in our index and does not yet carry a Closelooknet score; the diary has not quoted it.
What the diary watches
Whether revenue keeps shifting from trading and listing fees toward the software and data businesses, which would change how the diary reads its earnings mix.
