How to read this

What it is

Moves are how far each maturity travelled over a span, in basis points. Spans stack together, from one session out to three years.

How to read the chart

Rows are maturities, columns are how far back; the spans nest. Each cell is a change over its span, in basis points.

Down a column gives the shape of one move. Along a row is whether that maturity kept going or gave it back.

A 6M row reading +3 on the day and −18 on the month has given back part of a fall.

Method

Depth measures the move against this curve’s record at that span, so a deep cell is an equally rare move in any column. A cell that did not move takes no colour; n/a means the print never came.
