Stats

The board

The levels I actually look at: where the major markets are, what volatility is pricing, what the curve is doing, and the themes currently in focus. Not a comprehensive terminal — a short list that earns its place.

As of 29 Sep 2026, 01:07 UTC

Upward sloping — 41% from front to back. The normal, calm state, and the condition in which selling premium is paid for taking duration risk rather than crash risk.

Rates and the dollar

Treasury yields across the curve, the 10s2s spread, and the dollar index.
