3D Yield Curve Surface — visualizing cross-asset macro regimes
50k ft — Why care?
3D visualization of yield curve dynamics across macro regimes: COVID-19 vol shock (VIX spike, yield compression), Fed tightening cycle (curve inversion). Shows how Treasury yield warping drives cross-asset correlations.
10k ft — Key takeaways
• Yield curve shape drives cross-asset pricing
• Vol shocks compress yields as capital flees to safety
• Tightening cycles invert the curve

Visualizing the foundation of cross-asset modeling. 🌐📉
Safe assets like US Treasuries are the baseline for pricing risk across all markets. When macro shocks hit, the yield curve warps, and those ripples dictate cross-asset correlations.
Watch how the 3D surface reacts to distinct macro regimes:
The Volatility Shock (COVID-19): VIX explodes and yields violently compress as capital floods into safety.
The Tightening Cycle: The Fed aggressively hikes, warping the surface and severely inverting the curve as the cost of short-term capital skyrockets.
If your systemic models aren't dynamically adjusting to these structural shifts in the risk-free rate, your cross-asset correlations are likely breaking. You can't model risk assets without first understanding the ground truth of safe asse…
