Global Bond Data is an information environment for financial market professionals and investors. The application provides a quick search facility for stocks, bonds and indices, as well as popular analytical tools. The Global Bond Data database contains more than 1 000 000 bond and Eurobond issues worldwide, 80,234 shares, 80,000 indices on stock markets, bonds, the commodity market and macroeconomics. The bond page contains data on current and archival quotes and yields on the stock exchange and over-the-counter market from market participants. Basic information about each issue is also presented: issue status, issue volume, coupons and payment schedule, placement and repayment dates, credit ratings, identification information, issue placement data and other parameters. The trading schedule, basic parameters, dividend payment schedule, information about the issuer, holders, and news are available on the stock page. On the index page you can find a graph of its values, the calculation method and a list of the papers necessary for its calculation. On the issuer's page, you can get all the information available on Global Bond Data on a particular issuer: general information, ratings, and reporting. The key functionality of the Watchlist application allows you to track information and quotes on a selected list of bonds, shares and indices. The list is added via a search in the Watchlist section or through the bond, stock, or index pages. In the Bond Calculator you can calculate the analytical indicators used in the valuation of bonds and Eurobonds. The tool allows you to calculate clean and dirty prices, accrued coupon interest (ACI), several types of bond yields, debt, as well as indicators of modified duration, convexity, PVBP, G-spread, and Z-spread, which allows you to analyze the volatility of debt market instruments and to evaluate changes in the bond price when the yield changes. The event calendar allows you to filter bond events by geographic location, as well as by event type, issue and issuer for a certain period. In the app you can build a market map based on your Watchlist, view your market maps or use pre-configured ready-made maps. There’s also a section on interest-rate curves. In a separate section of the application and on the issuers pages, there is a list of financial news that can be searched. We invite you to use our application and will be glad to hear your feedback!

About

Real Inflation

You already know that prices are going up. You feel it every time you buy groceries, fill up the tank, or grab your morning coffee. But by how much, exactly? Official inflation numbers are averages across millions of households, and they rarely reflect what is actually happening to your wallet. Real Inflation turns that vague feeling into a clear, personal number. Instead of relying on government statistics that blend luxury goods with essentials you never buy, you build your own basket from the products that matter to you. Bread, milk, eggs, fuel, whatever you spend money on regularly. You log prices when you shop, and the app calculates your personal Consumer Price Index, the inflation rate that actually applies to your life. Over time, this becomes powerful. You start seeing which categories are quietly eating into your budget. You discover that dairy went up twelve percent while everything else barely moved. You realize your salary buys fewer baskets of groceries than it did six months ago. These are not abstract percentages from a news headline. These are your prices, your products, your money. The idea is simple. You add a few products, log their prices once a month, and Real Inflation does the rest. It compares your costs across months, detects unusual price jumps, breaks down inflation by category, and projects where your basket cost is heading over the next one to five years. If you set your salary, it shows how your purchasing power is changing over time with a chart that makes the trend impossible to ignore. Everything runs on your device. Nothing is uploaded, shared, or collected. You can export a full PDF report with your inflation summary, price table, and forecast. You can back up your data as a CSV file or import records from another device. A monthly reminder nudges you to log fresh prices so your data stays current. Real Inflation is not a financial advisor and it does not pretend to replace official statistics. It is a private awareness tool that helps you see what inflation looks like from where you stand. Because the number that matters most is not the one on the news. It is the one in your cart.
