About this series
Treasury yields are par yields published daily by the U.S. Department of the Treasury from bid-side market quotations around 3:30 PM Eastern, interpolated to constant maturities. They are quoted in percent; daily changes are shown in basis points (1 bp = 0.01 percentage point).
How to read the numbers
The 10-year yield is the reference rate for mortgages and long-term borrowing; the 2-year tracks expectations for Federal Reserve policy. When the 2-year exceeds the 10-year the curve is inverted, which has preceded most US recessions since the 1970s, though with variable lags.
