About this series
What it measures
The yield on a Treasury note with ten years left to maturity (constant maturity), as published daily in the Federal Reserve's H.15 release, which interpolates it from Treasury's daily yield curve.
Why it matters
It is the most widely quoted long-term interest rate in the U.S. and a common reference point for pricing mortgages, corporate bonds and other long-term loans.
Common misreads
It is not set by the Fed; it is a market price. A higher yield does not by itself mean the economy is strong or weak, since inflation expectations, Treasury supply and the extra return investors demand for holding long bonds all feed into it.
