Yield Curve Dynamics

https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/yield_curve_dynamics.svg https://travis-ci.com/luphord/yield_curve_dynamics.svg Documentation Status

A cursory look at the dynamics of zero coupon bond yield curves.

  • Data source: Zero coupon bond yield curve data published by European Central Bank (ECB)
  • Visualization: Animated plot shows a video of historic yield curves
  • Analysis: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is applied to (shifted) log diffs of keyrates in order to reduce the dimensionality of curve movements
  • Key insight: Three factors (parallel shift, steepening and hump) can capture the majority of curve movements
  • Structure: Functionality is contained in the yield_curve_dynamics Python package, presentation is performed using Jupyter notebooks in the notebooks directory
  • Free software: MIT license
  • Documentation: https://yield-curve-dynamics.readthedocs.io.
  • Slides
