The 3-Month Treasury yield here is the 3-month constant-maturity yield (FRED series DGS3MO), quoted in percent a year, on an investment (bond-equivalent) basis rather than the bill’s discount rate. 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.

What these badges mean
- Trend
- The yield is above its 20-, 50- and 200-day moving averages. A position versus trend, not a direction to trade.
- Level
- The current yield is at the 52nd percentile of this tenor's history since 1981. A level versus its own history — not itself high or low value, and not a direction.
- Volatility
- 20-day realised yield volatility at the 44th percentile of its own history since 1981. Higher = larger daily yield swings; a magnitude, not a direction.
- 52-week position
- The yield is at 98.5% 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 67.86. 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.
