Treasury Yields Little Changed, 6-Month Bill Rate at 3.72% (Apr 20, 2026)
At 3.72 percent, the 2-year Treasury rate sits six hundredths below its level of one week ago, and the front-to-back progression across maturities runs from 3.69 percent on the 4-week Treasury bill rate through 3.72 percent at 6 months, 3.65 percent at 1 year, 3.73 percent at 3 years, 4.04 percent at 7 years, and 4.88 percent at the long end. The 5-year Treasury yield stands at 3.86 percent, the 10-year Treasury yield at 4.26 percent, and the 20-year at 4.85 percent. Monday's session left the 30-year two hundredths lower than the 4.90 percent recorded last Monday.
Middle maturities pulled back the most over the week, with the 2-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 7-year each down six hundredths. The 10-year rate fell four hundredths to 4.26 percent and the 20-year slipped three hundredths to 4.85 percent. Shorter bills were steadier: the 3-month Treasury rate held at 3.71 percent, unchanged from a week earlier, while the 6-month moved from 3.74 percent to 3.72 percent. Against the reference data from 2026-04-17, the 2-year rose one hundredth to 3.72 percent and the 5-year climbed two hundredths to 3.86 percent.
Compared with 2026-03-21, rates are higher across the curve. The 2-year has risen from 3.88 percent to 3.72 percent? No, it has fallen from that March level, as has the 30-year Treasury yield, which moved from 4.96 percent to 4.88 percent. The 10-year Treasury rate declined from 4.39 percent to 4.26 percent over the same span, and the 20-year fell from 4.97 percent to 4.85 percent. One year earlier, on 2025-04-18, the 2-year stood at 3.81 percent, the 10-year at 4.34 percent, and the 30-year at 4.80 percent. The 1-year at 3.65 percent remains below the 2-year, keeping that segment inverted, while the curve from 2 years onward slopes upward.
