About 10-Year Treasury Yield
The 10-Year Treasury yield is the benchmark interest rate that influences mortgage rates, corporate bonds, and precious metals. Rising yields increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold and silver.
- Published daily by the U.S. Treasury Department
- Rising yields pressure gold — higher rates make bonds more attractive
- Falling yields are bullish for metals — lower opportunity cost for non-yielding assets
- Real yields (nominal minus inflation) matter more than nominal yields for gold
- Inverted yield curve (10Y below 2Y) has preceded every U.S. recession since 1955
