{"chart":{"slug":"yield-curve-today","title":"What does the Treasury yield curve look like today?","takeaway":"On October 16, 2026, a 3-month Treasury bill paid 4.26% a year, a 2-year note 4.74%, a 10-year note 5.09% and a 30-year bond 5.43%. Longer loans to the government paid more than short ones, the usual upward slope. When short-term rates are higher than long-term ones the curve is called inverted. Each bar is Treasury's par yield for that length of loan at the close of the day.","topic":"Interest rates","chart_type":"bar","ranking":false,"x_label":"How long the loan lasts (months or years)","y_label":"Treasury rate, % a year","unit":"percent","points_count":11,"source":{"name":"U.S. Treasury, Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve Rates","url":"https://home.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/interest-rates/TextView?type=daily_treasury_yield_curve"},"license":{"name":"Public domain (U.S. government work)","url":"https://www.usa.gov/government-copyright"},"data_as_of":"2026-10-16","updated_at":"2026-10-17T18:50:41.884Z","url":"https://chart.ly/charts/yield-curve-today","api_url":"https://chart.ly/api/v1/charts/yield-curve-today","csv_url":"https://chart.ly/charts/yield-curve-today/data.csv","image_url":"https://chart.ly/charts/yield-curve-today/image.png","embed_url":"https://chart.ly/charts/yield-curve-today/embed","credit":"U.S. Treasury, Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve Rates, via Chartly (https://chart.ly/charts/yield-curve-today)","credit_html":"U.S. Treasury, Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve Rates, via \u003ca href=\"https://chart.ly/charts/yield-curve-today\"\u003eChartly\u003c/a\u003e","average_label":null,"zero_axis":true,"data":[{"label":"1 mo","value":4.12},{"label":"3 mo","value":4.26},{"label":"6 mo","value":4.34},{"label":"1 yr","value":4.46},{"label":"2 yr","value":4.74},{"label":"3 yr","value":4.82},{"label":"5 yr","value":4.89},{"label":"7 yr","value":4.98},{"label":"10 yr","value":5.09},{"label":"20 yr","value":5.47},{"label":"30 yr","value":5.43}],"annotations":[]},"docs":"https://chart.ly/developers","terms":"Free to use with credit: wherever you show or quote a chart's data, name Chartly with a link to that chart's url (each chart's credit line does both) and credit its source as its license asks.","credit":"U.S. Treasury, Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve Rates, via Chartly (https://chart.ly/charts/yield-curve-today)"}
