About TLT
TLT is the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF, the most widely traded fund for long-dated US government bonds. It holds US Treasury bonds with more than 20 years left to maturity, so its price rises when long-term interest rates fall and drops when they rise. Many investors watch it as a quick read on the bond market.
The official TLT price is only published while the US stock market is open, and the Treasury market itself shuts overnight and at the weekend. WeekendIndex shows a live TLT price 24/7, implied from markets that keep trading. This is an implied market price, not the official last sale.

Frequently asked questions
Can I see the TLT price on weekends?
Yes. The official TLT price is only set while the US stock market is open, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern on weekdays, with pre-market and after-hours quotes until 8:00 PM Eastern. After that it freezes for the night and the weekend. WeekendIndex shows a live TLT price 24/7, so you can check it on Saturday and Sunday.
Is the bond market open today?
The US Treasury market trades nearly around the clock on weekdays, following the sun from Tokyo to London to New York, but it shuts from Friday evening until Sunday evening US time and on bond market holidays. TLT itself trades on Nasdaq during regular stock market hours. WeekendIndex shows a price even when both are closed.
Why is TLT moving when the bond market is closed?
WeekendIndex reads markets that price TLT around the clock, including at the weekend. Those markets keep trading on news while the exchange is shut, so the price here keeps moving. It is an implied market price, not the official Nasdaq last sale, and it can differ from where TLT actually opens.
What does the TLT price say about interest rates?
TLT holds US Treasury bonds with more than 20 years left to maturity, so it is very sensitive to long-term interest rates. When yields rise, TLT falls, and when yields fall, TLT rises. A move in TLT over the weekend is an early hint of where long-term Treasury yields may open on Monday.
