Note: Meekly and monthly figures are averages of business days unless otherwise noted. 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 securties in the ovei—the-counter market. These market yields are calculated from composites of quotations reported by five leading U.S. Government securities dealers to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The constant maturity yield values are read from the yield curve at fixed maturities, currently 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 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.
