The 2-Year Treasury yield here is the 2-year constant-maturity yield (FRED series DGS2), quoted in percent a year. It is read off the par yield curve the US Treasury fits each business day to bid-side quotes for the most recently auctioned Treasuries at about 3:30 pm New York time, so it is not the yield of any one security.

Rules-based reading
A transparent, rules-based reading of the facts on this page. Each badge traces to a published rule and to the metrics shown. Reporting, not advice.
- Trend: Mixed vs moving averages
- Level: Mid-range by its own history
- Volatility: Normal
- 52-week position: High in range
- RSI: Neutral
What these badges mean
- Trend
- The yield is above some of its 20/50/200-day moving averages and below others. A position versus trend, not a direction to trade.
- Level
- The current yield is at the 52nd percentile of this tenor's history since 1976. A level versus its own history — not itself high or low value, and not a direction.
- Volatility
- 20-day realised yield volatility at the 58th percentile of its own history since 1976. Higher = larger daily yield swings; a magnitude, not a direction.
- 52-week position
- The yield is at 90.3% of its 52-week range. A position within the range — not itself high or low value, and not a direction.
- RSI
- RSI(14) on the yield series is 54.93. Readings of 70 and above are stretched high (the yield has risen faster than it has fallen recently), below 30 stretched low (the reverse), and between them neutral. A momentum reading, not a recommendation.
