Treasury yields today
US Treasury par yields on October 9, 2026: 3-month 4.25%, 2-year 4.80%, 5-year 5.02%, 10-year 5.24%, 30-year 5.60%. The 10-year was 0.44 points above the 2-year.
What it is
What the US government pays to borrow, from three months to thirty years. Plotted side by side, the rates make the yield curve: it normally slopes up, because lenders ask more to lend for longer.
Why it matters to your money
The short end is what cash and money-market funds pay; the long end sets mortgages and moves bond funds. When the 10-year falls below the 2-year, the curve is inverted: markets expect rates, and often the economy, to slow.
