The table shows the Treasury par yield at each maturity Treasury publishes, from 1 month to 30 years, for the latest business day, next to the prior business day. The key facts compare the 10-year yield with the 2-year and the 3-month yields, the two pairs this page uses to answer the question.

What the comparison means

Treasury describes its yield curve as one that relates the yield on a security to its time to maturity. This page calls a pair inverted when the shorter maturity has the higher yield. The key facts give the gap in percentage points, so a reader can see how close the pair is as well as which way it points.

Where the numbers come from

Treasury estimates its par yield curve each day from indicative, bid-side price quotations on the most recently auctioned securities, obtained by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at or near 3:30 p.m. each trading day. It reads the yields for fixed maturities from that curve.

When it updates

Treasury publishes a curve for each trading day, and this page reads Treasury's file every few hours and updates at the same address. What is the 10-year Treasury yield today? shows the 10-year yield over the last 10 business days.

This page reports published yields and is not financial advice.
