Finding Free Research on Fixed-Income Markets

Summary

This discussion seeks free research on current fixed-income topics, including interest rates, credit fundamentals, and new issuance. The requester prefers analysis of present economic and financial events over work focused mainly on stochastic models or neural-network estimates, while remaining open to quantitative research and general sources.

The response points readers toward an aggregator of quantitative finance blogs and suggests that some blogs offer more sophisticated analysis than others. It also identifies freely available sell-side research channels on Reuters Messenger, subject to professional-industry access, and singles out a channel focused on foreign exchange. These are discovery suggestions rather than a curated review of fixed-income publications: the document gives no examples of specific bond-market articles, no assessment of source quality, and no evidence about how regularly the suggested channels cover rates, credit, or issuance. Access conditions and the resources themselves may also change over time.

Key ideas

• Quantitative finance blog aggregators can help readers discover research sources.
• The response recommends exploring blogs with varying levels of analytical depth.
• Some sell-side research may be available through professional financial messaging channels.
• The suggestions are not a detailed or fixed-income-specific source comparison.

As from the title, I would like to know where it is possible to find free research focused on fixed income markets' themes and topics, such as interest rates, credit risk related fundamentals, new issues and so on.

«Why isn't SSRN sufficient?» one could ask me; well, I'm looking for something which is more oriented to analyse present economic and financial events and less to build another stochastic model or neural networks' default probability, and such things.

Despite of this, however, a quantitative approach to research would be really appreciated, but I would be happy to find even just a few generic research sources.

There are tons of quant related blogs out there, some of which contain relatively sophisticated content, others less so. Have a look at the following, which aggregates blogs:

Otherwise I could point you to bank/sell-side research. Have a look at the freely available Reuters Messenger (RM), they maintain channels where you can be permissioned as long as you work in some professional financial-industry capacity. (www.fxww.com should have more information if you find difficulties getting the RM installed).

Check out the 'FXWW' channel in particular.
