The US 10-year Treasury yield fell 0.06 percentage point over the week to 5.13% on Oct. 21, data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis's FRED database showed.
The weekly decline left the yield above its Sept. 21 level of 4.96%. All four Treasury maturities tracked here followed that pattern, falling from Oct. 14 while remaining above their levels a month earlier.
The 10-year yield had stood at 5.19% on Oct. 14. Its latest reading was 0.17 percentage point higher than in September, the largest monthly increase among the four maturities.
The 30-year Treasury bond yield fell to 5.42% from 5.52% a week earlier, a decline of 0.10 percentage point. It recorded the largest weekly drop among the four.
The 30-year yield remained 0.13 percentage point above its Sept. 21 reading of 5.29%. Its weekly decline exceeded the 10-year yield's fall by 0.04 percentage point.
The two-year Treasury note yield stood at 4.81%, down 0.01 percentage point from 4.82% on Oct. 14. It was up 0.05 percentage point from 4.76% on Sept. 21.
The three-month Treasury bill yield fell to 4.25% from 4.28% over the week. That left it 0.08 percentage point above its September reading of 4.17%.
The gap between the 10-year and two-year yields was positive at 0.32 percentage point on Oct. 21, the FRED data showed. The 10-year yield therefore remained higher than the two-year yield.
That gap narrowed from a positive 0.37 percentage point a week earlier. It remained wider than the positive 0.20 percentage point recorded on Sept. 21.
The weekly narrowing reflected a larger decline in the 10-year yield than in the two-year yield. Over the month, the 10-year yield rose more than the two-year yield.
The 10-year breakeven rate, the difference between nominal and inflation-indexed Treasury yields, rose to 2.37%. It increased from 2.35% a week earlier and 2.34% a month earlier.
Those changes amounted to increases of 0.02 percentage point over the week and 0.03 percentage point over the month. The breakeven rate rose during both comparison periods.
The 10-year inflation-indexed yield, the yield on Treasury debt adjusted for inflation, fell to 2.76% from 2.84% a week earlier. It stood at 2.62% on Sept. 21.
The inflation-indexed yield declined 0.08 percentage point over the week, exceeding the nominal 10-year yield's drop. Over the month, it rose 0.14 percentage point, less than the nominal yield's increase.
