What does the Treasury yield curve look like today?
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.
