DESCRIPTION OF THE TREASURY NOMINAL AND INFLATION-INDEXED
CONSTANT MATURITY SERIES
Yields on Treasury nominal securities at "constant maturity" are interpolated by the U.S. Treasury from
the daily yield curve for non-inflation-indexed Treasury securities. This curve, which relates the
yield on a security to its time to maturity, is based on the closing market bid yields on actively traded
Treasury securities in the over-the-counter market. These market yields are calculated from composites
of quotations obtained by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The constant maturity yield values are
read from the yield curve at fixed maturities, currently 1, 3 and 6 months and 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 20
years. This method provides a yield for a 10-year maturity, for example, even if no outstanding security
has exactly 10 years remaining to maturity. Similarly, yields on inflation-indexed securities at
"constant maturity" are interpolated from the daily yield curve for Treasury inflation protected securities
in the over-the-counter market. The inflation-indexed constant maturity yields are read from this yield
curve at fixed maturities, currently 5, 7, 10, and 20 years.
