Corporate Bond Yields




Corporate Bond Yields

Trailing percentile ranking of Moody's Baa-rated bonds.

Readings of 40 and below are Bullish. [0, 40]

Readings above 40 are Bearish (Sub-normal). (40, 100)

Expected returns are based on historical data. Past performance is no guarantee that these relationships will hold in the future.

Expected returns are for 1-month and 3-month returns of the S&P 500.

The terms "Bullish" and "Bearish" do not mean that returns are expected to be positive or negative; rather, they mean that returns are expected to be higher or lower than normal. In practice, that really only applies to the "Bearish" term, since stocks returns have historically had a positive bias.
