The daily effective federal funds rate is a weighted average of rates on trades through N.Y. brokers.
Weekly figures are averages of 7 calendar days ending on Wednesday of the current week; monthly figures include
each calendar day in the month.
Annualized using a 360-day year or bank interest.
On a discount basis.
Interest rates interpolated from data on certain commercial paper trades settled by The Depository Trust Company.
The trades represent sales of commercial paper by dealers or direct issuers to investors (that is, the offer side). See
Board's Commercial Paper Web pages (http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/cp) for more information.
The 1-, 2-, and 3-month rates are equivalent to the 30-, 60-, and 90-day dates reported on the Board's Commercial
Paper Web page.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TREASURY CONSTANT MATURITY SERIES
Yields on Treasury securities at "constant maturity" are interpolated by the U.S. Treasury from the daily yield curve. This curve,
which relates the yield on a security to its time to maturity, is based on the closing market bid yields on actively traded Treasury
securities in the over-the-counter market. These market yields are calculated from composites of quotations obtained by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The constant maturity yield values are read from the yield curve at fixed maturities, currently 3
and 6 months and 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20, and 30 years. This method provides a yield for a 10-year maturity, for example, even if
no outstanding security has exactly 10 years remaining to maturity. In estimating the 20-year constant maturity, the Treasury
incorporates the prevailing market yield on an outstanding Treasury bond with approximately 20 years remaining to maturity.
