DESCRIPTION OF THE TREASURY CONSTANT MATURITY SERIES
Y ield s on T re a su ry securities at ’constant maturity’ are interpolated by the U .S. T re asu ry from the daily yield curve. T h is curve,
which relates the yield on a security to its time to maturity, is based on the closing market bid yield s on actively traded Tre asury
securities in the over-the-counter market. T h e se market yield s are calculated from com posites of quotations reported by five lead­
ing U .S. G overnm ent securities dealers to the Federal R eserve B ank of New York. T h e constant maturity yield va lu e s are read
from the yield curve at fixed maturities, currently 1 , 2 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 1 0 , and 30 years. T h is method provides a yield for a 1 0 -yea r maturity,
for exam ple, even if no outstanding security has exactly 10 y e a rs rem aining to maturity.
