The MacroCompass – Bond Market

The combination of Alf’s macro and technical approach will turbo-boost your understanding of the mechanics behind bond yields.

It all starts at the front-end of the yield curve: Central Banks exert a strong influence on short-term yields but there are many nuances to understand together.
Government bonds, OIS, interbank rates, repo markets…are you ready for it?

Let’s shift our focus to the long-end of bond markets and study what drives the decision making of the biggest buyers in the world, the macro drivers behind long-end rates and how to get an edge in studying the macro cycle through bond yields!

Yes, here we are: Dr. Yield Curve! This lesson is a primer on studying the mechanics by which the yield curve shape affects the economic cycle. But not only that: we will study all yield curve regimes and their impact on other asset classes so that your portfolio is always prepared for the macro cycle!

Credit spreads are an important macro variable to keep track of as they determine how cheap/expensive leverage is for the private sector. In this lesson we unpack the macro and technical aspects of credit markets!

A quick recap tour of all you learnt.
