The US 10-year Treasury yield rose 0.20 percentage point over the week to 5.10% on Nov. 12, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis's FRED database.
The weekly increase left the yield below its month-earlier level, with shorter and longer maturities showing different patterns over the month. Two-year and three-month yields rose over both periods, while 10-year and 30-year yields remained below their October readings.
The 10-year yield stood at 4.90% on Nov. 4 and 5.21% on Oct. 13. Its latest reading was 0.11 percentage point below the October level, despite the increase from the weekly comparison date.
The two-year Treasury yield reached 4.86% on Nov. 12, up from 4.58% on Nov. 4 and 4.79% on Oct. 13. That put its weekly increase at 0.28 percentage point and its monthly increase at 0.07 percentage point.
The 30-year yield stood at 5.43% on Nov. 12, compared with 5.28% on Nov. 4 and 5.56% on Oct. 13. It rose 0.15 percentage point over the week but fell 0.13 percentage point over the month.
The three-month Treasury bill yield reached 4.32% on Nov. 12, against 4.21% on Nov. 4 and 4.26% on Oct. 13. Its weekly increase was 0.11 percentage point, while its monthly increase was 0.06 percentage point.
The separate 10-year minus two-year spread was positive at 0.27 percentage point on Nov. 13, FRED data showed. It narrowed from a positive 0.38 percentage point on Nov. 5 and a positive 0.37 percentage point on Oct. 14.
Those changes amounted to decreases of 0.11 percentage point over the week and 0.10 percentage point over the month. The spread figures cover dates one day later than the corresponding Treasury yield readings above.
The 10-year breakeven rate, the gap between nominal and inflation-indexed 10-year yields, stood at 2.24% on Nov. 13. It was unchanged from Nov. 5 and down 0.11 percentage point from 2.35% on Oct. 14.
The 10-year inflation-indexed yield, the yield on Treasury debt whose principal adjusts for inflation, reached 2.86% on Nov. 12. It rose from 2.64% on Nov. 4 but remained below 2.88% on Oct. 13.
That yield increased 0.22 percentage point over the week and fell 0.02 percentage point over the month. Its comparison dates match those for the nominal Treasury yields, while the breakeven readings use the later dates.
