The table shows the 10-year Treasury yield for the last 10 business days, newest first, from the Treasury Department's Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve Rates. The key facts at the top state the latest day in a sentence, and the line under them shows the date of the last data.
What the yield is
Treasury calls these par yields and says they are commonly referred to as Constant Maturity Treasury rates, or CMTs. It reads them from a curve it estimates each day, which gives a yield for a 10-year maturity even if no outstanding security has exactly 10 years left to run.
Where the numbers come from
Treasury says the curve is built from indicative, bid-side price quotations, not actual trades, which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York obtains at or near 3:30 p.m. each trading day.
How to read the changes
The changes are in percentage points. A move from 4.00% to 4.10% is a rise of 0.10 points.
When it updates
Treasury publishes a rate for each trading day, and this page reads Treasury's file every few hours and updates at the same address. Is the yield curve inverted? shows every maturity for the latest day.
