Treasury Yields Little Changed, 10-Year Yield at 4.20% (Mar 17, 2026)
Rates across the Treasury yield curve are higher than one week ago at most maturities. The 30-year Treasury yield stands at 4.85 percent, up from 4.78 percent on March 10, while the 20-year Treasury rate sits at 4.81 percent versus 4.74 percent a week earlier. The 10-year Treasury yield is at 4.20 percent, above the 4.15 percent recorded last week, and the 2-year Treasury rate has risen to 3.68 percent from 3.57 percent over the same span. Compared with Monday, however, most rates slipped: the 30-year fell from 4.86 percent, the 20-year from 4.83 percent, and the 10-year from 4.23 percent.
Current levels show short bills near the lower end of the curve. The 4-week Treasury bill rate is 3.74 percent, the 6-week rate 3.72 percent, and both the 2-month and 3-month rates 3.72 percent. The 4-month rate holds at 3.69 percent and the 6-month rate at 3.71 percent. The 1-year rate is 3.63 percent, the 3-year rate 3.68 percent, the 5-year rate 3.79 percent, and the 7-year rate 3.98 percent.
Measured over the past month, short-term rates moved higher while long-term rates eased. The 4-week rate rose from 3.72 percent to 3.74 percent, the 6-month rate climbed from 3.59 percent to 3.71 percent, and the 1-year rate advanced from 3.42 percent to 3.63 percent. On the long end, the 30-year Treasury yield declined from 4.90 percent to 4.85 percent, the 10-year Treasury rate slipped from 4.28 percent to 4.20 percent, and the 7-year rate fell from 4.04 percent to 3.98 percent. The Treasury yield curve remains inverted in spots, with the 4-week rate above the 2-month and 3-month rates and the 1-year rate below the 2-year rate, before yields rise steadily from the 2-year out to the 30-year.
