US Treasury yield curve
The curve plots yields across maturities on one date. It normally slopes upward; when short-term yields exceed long-term ones, it is inverted.
10Y – 2Y spread
The spread is positive at 45 bp. The curve is normal: investors earn more for lending longer. From mid-2022 to autumn 2024 the spread was negative, the longest inversion on record.
Why Treasury yields matter
Treasuries are US government debt, the safest and most liquid asset in the world. Their yields are the benchmark for every other rate: mortgages, corporate loans and stock valuations all key off them.
Short maturities follow the Fed funds rate; long ones follow inflation and debt expectations. Traders watch yields around Fed meetings and inflation releases, when they move the dollar, stocks and crypto the most.
