Machine Learning and the Yield Curve: Tree-Based Macroeconomic Regime Switching
We explore tree-based macroeconomic regime-switching in the context of the dynamic Nelson-Siegel (DNS) yield-curve model. In particular, we customize the tree-growing algorithm to partition macroeconomic variables based on the DNS model's marginal likelihood, thereby identifying regime-shifting patterns in the yield curve. Compared to traditional Markov-switching models, our model offers clear economic interpretation via macroeconomic linkages and ensures computational simplicity. In an empirical application to U.S. Treasury yields, we find (1) important yield-curve regime switching, and (2) evidence that macroeconomic variables have predictive power for the yield curve when the federal funds rate is high, but not in other regimes, thereby refining the notion of yield curve ''macro-spanning''.

Using Macroeconomic Forecasts to Improve Mean Reverting Trading Strategies
A large class of trading strategies focus on opportunities offered by the yield curve. In particular, a set of yield curve trading strategies are based on the view that the yield curve mean-reverts. Based on these strate…
History Rhymes: Macro-Contextual Retrieval for Robust Financial Forecasting
Financial markets are inherently non-stationary: structural breaks and macroeconomic regime shifts often cause forecasting models to fail when deployed out of distribution (OOD). Conventional multimodal approaches that s…
Yield Curves Dynamics Using Variational Autoencoders Under No-arbitrage
This paper introduces a physics-informed generative framework that resolves the fundamental conflict between the statistical flexibility of deep learning and the rigorous theoretical constraints of fixed-income modeling.…
Macroeconomic Message Passing for Anticipating Foreign Exchange Regime Changes: A Deep Logical Learning Approach using Graph Tsetlin Machines
