DESCRIPTION OF THE TREASURY CONSTANT MATURITY SERIES
YIELDS ON TREASURY SECURITIES AT "CONSTANT MATURITY" ARE
ESTIMATED FROM THE TREASURY'S 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 REPORTED BY FIVE LEADING U.S.GOVERNMENT
SECURITIES DEALERS TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK.
THE CONSTANT YIELD VALUES ARE READ FROM THE YIELD CURVE AT
FIXED MATURITIES, CURRENTLY 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, AND 30 YEARS.
THIS METHOD PERMITS ESTIMATION OF THE YIELD FOR A 10-YEAR MATURITY,
FOR EXAMPLE, EVEN IF NO OUTSTANDING SECURITY HAS EXACTLY 10 YEARS
REMAINING TO MATURITY.
