The 7-year rate edged up to 4.53 percent from 4.52 percent last week and 4.47 percent the prior session.

The 30-year Treasury yield holds at 5.22 percent, up from 5.21 percent a week ago and 5.17 percent yesterday, matching the 20-year rate at 5.22 percent. Shorter maturities were little changed: the 3-month rate is 3.90 percent versus 3.82 percent last week, the 6-month rate 3.99 percent versus 3.98 percent, and the 4-week Treasury bill rate 3.80 percent.

Over 30 days, gains were broad. The 10-year Treasury rate rose from 4.55 percent, the 30-year Treasury yield from 5.05 percent, the 2-year rate from 4.19 percent, and the 20-year rate from 5.05 percent. Against one year ago, the 10-year rate is higher at 4.69 percent versus 4.22 percent, and the 30-year yield at 5.22 percent versus 4.81 percent. The Treasury yield curve slopes upward today with no inversions; last week the 30-year rate sat below the 20-year at 5.21 percent versus 5.22 percent, a pattern that has since disappeared.
