Analyze Yield Curves
The yield curve shows the relationship between the interest rate and the time to maturity for a given borrower in a given currency. The Financial Instruments Toolbox™ provides additional functionality to fit yield curves to market data using parametric fitting models and bootstrapping, estimate parameters and analyze different type of interest-rate curves. For more information, see Build and Analyze Curve Models (Financial Instruments Toolbox).

Topics
- Term Structure of Interest RatesThis example shows how to derive and analyze interest-rate curves, including data conversion and extrapolation, bootstrapping, and interest-rate curve conversions. 
- Sensitivity of Bond Prices to Interest RatesThis example demonstrates an analysis of duration and convexity for a bond portfolio using SIA-compliant bond functions. 
- Bond Prices and Yield Curve Parallel ShiftsThis example uses bond pricing functions to evaluate the impact of time-to-maturity and yield variation on the price of a bond portfolio. 
- Bond Prices and Yield Curve Nonparallel ShiftsThis example shows how to construct a bond portfolio to hedge the interest-rate risk of a Treasury bond maturing in 20 years. 
- Term Structure Analysis and Interest-Rate SwapsThis example shows how to derive implied zero and forward curves from the observed market prices of coupon-bearing bonds. 
- Pricing and Computing Yields for Fixed-Income SecuritiesCompute the accrued interest, price, yield, convexity, and duration of fixed-income securities.
