on Irish government bond yields and saving chart settings:
"You added an 'inverse' option about a year ago to allow an investor to flip a chart on its head. It would be nice, if once done, one could save the chart to Favourites. This does not seem to be possible.

"Also, your Irish 10 yr bond graph stopped updating mid October.....

Thank you."

Eoin Treacy's view Thank you for raising these issues which are likely to be of interest to subscribers. As mentioned previously, the Irish government has not issued new 10-year debt for at least a year. Therefore 10-year maturities are now 9-year maturities. The Irish 9-year bond yield chart can be found in the Chart Library.

To create an inverse chart, select the instrument you are interested in from the menus or using the search. I will use L'Oreal for the purposes of this example.

Once you have the chart, click on Charting, located in the charcoal bar above the chart area. Tick the Inverse (1/data) box and hit Apply.

To save your settings to your custom defined list, located in the Chart dropdown menu in the toolbar at the top of the Chart Library page, click on Charting again. Next click on Save located in the aquamarine bar at the top of the popup window. Give your template a name and hit OK. Then click on Apply. Refresh the page. Your new template will now have been added to the Chart dropdown and can be applied to any instrument you wish.
