Current levels on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, show the 30-year Treasury yield at 5.27 percent, unchanged from the prior session, with the 10-year Treasury rate at 4.79 percent and the 2-year Treasury rate at 4.39 percent. The 6-week bill stands at 3.87 percent, the 2-month rate at 3.89 percent, and the 4-month rate at 4.02 percent. Compared with 30 days ago, the 10-year rate is up from 4.70 percent and the 30-year yield is up from 5.23 percent, while the 2-year rate moved from 4.25 percent to 4.39 percent. One year ago, on September 2, 2025, the 10-year rate stood at 4.28 percent and the 30-year yield at 4.97 percent.

The Treasury yield curve is mostly upward sloping, running from 3.83 percent at 4 weeks to 5.27 percent at both 20 and 30 years. One inversion is present: the 4-month rate of 4.02 percent sits above the 6-month rate of 4.00 percent, a gap of 0.02 percent that did not exist last week, when the 4-month rate was 3.88 percent against a 6-month rate of 3.94 percent. Thirty days ago the 4-month rate was 3.94 percent and the 6-month rate 4.02 percent, with no inversion. The 20-year and 30-year rates are equal today at 5.27 percent, whereas 30 days ago the 20-year rate of 5.23 percent exceeded the 30-year rate of 5.23 percent by no margin, both standing at that level.
