Treasury Yields (Constant Maturity)
Constant-maturity Treasury yields are the interest rates the US government pays to borrow across maturities, interpolated daily by the Treasury from actively traded issues. The 10-year is the global benchmark "risk-free" rate — the discount rate behind mortgage rates, corporate borrowing, and equity valuations.
Latest reading
As of August 3, 2026, Treasury Yields (10-Year) stands at 4.70% — down from 4.75% the prior reading. The short end (3-month, 2-year) tracks Fed policy expectations; the long end (10-, 30-year) tracks growth and inflation expectations plus term premium. Rising long yields tighten financial conditions and pressure long-duration assets (tech, growth stocks, housing). The 10Y−2Y and 10Y−3M spreads — the recession signal — get their own treatment on the Yield Curve page; here the focus is the level of money itself. Series history runs from 1962 to present.
