how to extract price data for matured bond?

it seems that we can not get data for bonds which have expired. Why? How can we get price data for such matured bonds? For example, XS1808871211 has expired, we can not get the price data (TR.BIDYIELD). Anyone knows?

  • I think the reason why there's no pricing data for any of these bonds is not because they matured, but because just like XS1808871211 they're small issues that no one ever cared to price or evaluate. This is only my speculation though. For an authoritative answer, please contact Refinitiv Helpdesk.

  • As far as I can see XS1808871211 is active. It matures on 18-Apr-2048. It seems that the reason no price data is available for this bond is that no one prices it. It looks like it's a rather small issue, which is not being traded or evaluated.

  • Hello Alex, thanks for your kind reply. Sorry I gave the wrong bond ID. It would be great if you can help check the following expired bond: XS1069942263 (expired in 2018), XS1031358697(expired in 2018), XS1015973263(expired in 2018), just to name a few. It seems like all these expired bonds don't have data value for TR.BIDYIELD.

  • Hello Alex, thanks for your reply. I will ask helpdesk.
