Frequently asked questions

Why does the 10-year Treasury yield matter for stocks?

It is the benchmark long-term interest rate. When it rises, borrowing costs go up and future profits are worth less today, which usually weighs on growth stocks, homebuilders and utilities and helps bank margins.

What moves the 10-year yield?

Inflation data, Federal Reserve policy and guidance, the size of government borrowing, and demand for safe assets during geopolitical stress.

Which ETFs track Treasury yields?

TLT and IEF hold long and intermediate Treasuries and fall when yields rise. TBT is a leveraged short fund that rises with yields.

Where does the yield data come from?

The daily constant-maturity 10-year yield published by the Federal Reserve (H.15), via FRED series DGS10.
