6 Month Treasury Rate is at 5.39%, compared to 5.39% the previous market day and 5.07% last year. This is higher than the long term average of 2.83%.
The 6 Month Treasury Bill Rate is the yield received for investing in a US government issued treasury security that has a maturity of 6 months. The 6 month treasury yield is included on the shorter end of the yield curve. The 6 month treasury yield reached nearly 16% in 1981, as the Fed was raising its benchmark rates in an effort to curb inflation.

United States Treasury securities, also called Treasuries or Treasurys, are government debt instruments issued by the United States Department of the Treasury to finance government spending, in addition to taxation.
"The Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve Rates" are specific rates read from the daily Treasury par yield curve at the specific "constant maturity" indicated. Thus, a yield curve rate is the single yield at a specific point on the yield curve.
Yields are interpolated by the Treasury from the daily par yield curve. This curve, which relates the yield on a security to its time to maturity, is based on the closing market bid prices on the most recently auctioned Treasury securities in the over-the-counter market.
To calculate yield, subtract the bill's purchase price from its face value and then divide the result by the bill's purchase price. Finally, multiply your answer by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
The United States 10Y Government Bond has a 4.427% yield. 10 Years vs 2 Years bond spread is -44.6 bp. Yield Curve is inverted in Long-Term vs Short-Term Maturities. Central Bank Rate is 5.50% (last modification in July 2023).
A positive, upward-sloping yield curve occurs when yields of shorter maturities are lower than yields of longer maturities. Conversely, an inverted, downward-sloping yield curve forms when yields of shorter maturities are higher than longer maturities.
If you believed that the Fed would continue to taper its QE program while holding short-term rates near- zero, the yield curve might continue to steepen. Thus, you might wish to “buy the curve” by buying short-term and selling long-term Treasury futures – a yield curve “steepener.”
The yield curve is an important economic indicator because it is: central to the transmission of monetary policy. a source of information about investors' expectations for future interest rates, economic growth and inflation. a determinant of the profitability of banks.
A normal yield curve is characterized by lower yields for shorter-term maturities and progressively higher yields for longer-term maturities. A normal yield curve is the most common and generally reflects a stable and expanding economy.
Once you buy T-bonds, you get a fixed-interest payment called the coupon every six months. The coupon amount is given as a percentage of the bond's face value. For example, a bond worth $500 with a coupon rate of 5% would pay $25 in interest each year. At maturity, you're paid the bond's face value.
Key Takeaways. Yield is the annual net profit that an investor earns on an investment. The interest rate is the percentage charged by a lender for a loan. The yield on new investments in debt of any kind reflects interest rates at the time they are issued.

Treasury yields are inversely related to Treasury prices, and yields are often used to price and trade fixed-income securities including Treasuries. Treasury securities with different maturities have different yields; longer-term Treasury securities usually have higher yields than shorter-term ones.
What is an inverted yield curve? An inverted yield curve means the interest rate on long-term bonds is lower than the interest rate on short-term bonds. This is often seen as a bad sign for the economy.
Supply-related factors such as central bank purchases and fiscal policy, and demand-related factors, such as the fed funds rate, the trade deficit, regulatory policies, and inflation all shift the yield curve.
