  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year −1.03 — moves strongly against bonds for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Transocean Ltd moved −1.03% on average · correlation −0.19 · higher than 1% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months −1.09 about the same as over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.29% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days −0.73% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24
