Treasury Yields Little Changed, 4-Week Bill Rate at 3.79% (Sep 4, 2026)

Short maturities held nearly still at the end of the week. The 4-week Treasury bill rate slipped to 3.79 percent from 3.84 percent one week earlier, while the 6-week rate was unchanged at 3.83 percent and the 3-month rate stood at 3.91 percent, matching its level from a week ago. The 2-month rate at 3.90 percent and the 3-month rate at 3.91 percent were likewise steady, making the front of the Treasury yield curve the steadiest segment on Friday, September 4, 2026.

Exceptions appeared at the 4-month and 6-month points. The 4-month rate rose to 4.00 percent from 3.94 percent a week ago, while the 6-month rate fell to 3.98 percent from 4.02 percent, creating an inversion between those adjacent maturities that was absent last week and thirty days ago. Farther out, the 10-year Treasury rate climbed to 4.78 percent from 4.73 percent, the 2-year Treasury rate moved to 4.37 percent from 4.34 percent, the 5-year rate reached 4.54 percent from 4.48 percent, and the 7-year rate advanced to 4.65 percent from 4.59 percent. The 20-year rate stood at 5.25 percent, up from 5.21 percent, and the 30-year Treasury yield finished at 5.24 percent, higher than 5.22 percent a week earlier but a touch below the 5.25 percent recorded yesterday.

The Treasury yield curve now shows a second inversion at the long end, with the 30-year rate sitting just below the 20-year rate; thirty days ago the 20-year rate of 5.18 percent also exceeded the 30-year rate of 5.17 percent. Over the past month the 10-year Treasury rate has risen from 4.63 percent, the 30-year Treasury yield from 5.17 percent, and the 2-year Treasury rate from 4.18 percent, while the 6-month rate held at 3.98 percent and the 4-week rate slipped from 3.77 percent. Against one year ago, the 10-year rate of 4.78 percent compares with 4.17 percent on September 4, 2025, and the 30-year yield of 5.24 percent compares with 4.86 percent.
