Treasury yield

The interest rate the market sets on U.S. Treasury securities. The Federal Reserve publishes daily yields by maturity.

The Fed's H.15 release lists daily Treasury yields at maturities from one month to 30 years, along with other interest rates. Source 1

Longer-term rates reflect what people expect short-term rates and the economy to do, so they can move between Fed meetings as expectations change. Source 2
