How it trades on rate days

How SSL has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year −1.02 — moves strongly against bonds for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Sasol Ltd moved −1.02% on average · correlation −0.17 · higher than 1% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months −1.98 less rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days +1.71% 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 +0.07% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Daily total returns from the adjusted price series; a TLT down day is a day long yields rose. Beta = the average move of the name for a 1% move in TLT. Past sensitivity, not a forecast. An investment diary, not a recommendation.

Company snapshot — Sasol Ltd

SSL in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Sasol makes fuels and chemicals from coal, gas and oil feedstocks, running refineries and gas-to-liquids plants across South Africa, Mozambique, the United States and Europe. It sells everything from bitumen, lubricants and jet fuel to solvents, ammonia, methanol and polymers, supplying industries from agriculture to pharmaceuticals. Its business spans mining the coal it processes through to marketing the finished fuel and chemical products. It is headquartered in Sandton, South Africa.
Where it sits in the stack
Sasol carries no seat in our index. In our universe it sits in the Basic Materials sector, within the Specialty Chemicals industry, given its coal, gas and oil conversion into fuels and chemical products.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group has no comparators listed for Sasol; the market sometimes places it beside integrated chemicals producers such as LyondellBasell given the breadth of its product lines.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Sasol holds no index seat and no Rubin or Halo placement, and the diary has not quoted it. It carries a Closelooknet score, but only one module has been scored so far, so the read is still being built.
What the diary watches
Whether demand shifts across Sasol's spread of fuel and chemical end-markets, given how many separate industries its product lines feed into.
