Bloomberg.com Pulls the Plug on 5-Year Bond Data

Quotes on Canada’s 5-year government bond yield are no longer displayed on Bloomberg.com.

Since bond yields usually precede changes in fixed mortgage rates, Bloomberg’s 5-year yield page has been a useful tool for mortgage observers. That is, until today.

Apparently, the company feels it will earn more by keeping this data proprietary to its $1,500+ per month data terminal service.

Fortunately, for you bond watchers in the crowd, there are other providers of free yield data, including:

• CanDeal (intraday yield quotes)
• Investing.com (5-year yield charts)
• PC Bond (Canadian yield curve)
• Bank of Canada (historical yield data)

If anyone knows of better online bond sources, feel free to share them in the comments section.
