10Y Yield Dips to 4.46% as Curve Holds Positive Despite Flattening
· Economics · MarketsFN Data Team
The 10-year Treasury yield fell 3 bps to 4.46% on Tuesday, easing from recent highs while the 2Y-10Y spread narrowed to +27 bps, maintaining a positive but flattening curve signal.
The 10-year yield is up 1 bp this week but remains above its 3-month (4.41%) and 1-year (4.24%) averages. It sits 80 bps below its 52-week high (4.67%) and 49 bps above its low (3.97%), reflecting persistent volatility in 2026's rate environment.
The 2Y-10Y spread tightened 12 bps this week to +27 bps, matching its 52-week low. While still positive, the flattening suggests reduced growth optimism. Historically, spreads below +50 bps have preceded economic slowdowns, though not immediate recessions.
Markets await Friday's PCE inflation data for Fed policy clues. A hot print could revive yield upside, while soft figures may extend the dip. Fed speakers and month-end portfolio rebalancing could also drive volatility.
