Benchmark issue Also called on-the-run or current-coupon issue or bellwether issue. In the secondary market, the benchmark issue is the most recently auctioned Treasury issues for each maturity. Bellwether Issue A bond with a coupon that is close to market rates. Interest rates on bonds vary from time to time according to a number of factors, but are usually locked at issue. A bellwether issue is one with an interest rate very near to the prevailing rates, regardless of when it was issued. Bellwether issues are also called benchmark issues and perhaps, most commonly, current coupons bonds. How to thank TFD for its existence?
