US rates close with the 10-year at 5.15%
US Treasury close for 2026-10-19: 2Y 4.77%, 10Y 5.15%, 30Y 5.48%; 2s10s 38 bp. Market data and edition dates are shown separately.
The session lacked a single dominant maturity, so the useful information sits in the relationship between the front end, belly and long end. The 10-year finished at 5.15%, up 6.0 bp from the previous official observation.
Rates in context
At the policy-sensitive end, the 2-year closed at 4.77% (+3.0 bp). Five-year yields ended at 4.94% (+5.0 bp), while the 30-year finished at 5.48% (+5.0 bp).
The curve beneath the headline
A positive 38.0 bp 2s10s spread left the curve steeper by 3.0 bp. The 5s30s spread stood at 54.0 bp, a 0.0 bp widening, while 1s10s finished at 65.0 bp.
What BondStats is watching
No single maturity dominated enough to call this a one-factor move. The useful information is in the cross-curve comparison rather than in attaching a narrative to one benchmark.
BondStats computes these comparisons from official US Treasury daily par yield-curve observations. They are indicative par yields, not transaction prices. Causal claims are deliberately excluded unless a separate primary source establishes them.
