10Y Yield Dips to 4.41% as Curve Steepens Slightly Amid Mixed Data
Fixed Income · Treasury Yields · Weekly Close

The 10-year Treasury yield settled at 4.41%, down 2 bps for the week, while the 2Y-10Y spread widened to 31 bps, signaling persistent but modest economic optimism.

The 10-year yield fell 2 bps this week to 4.41%, hovering just below its 3-month average of 4.42% but remaining well above its 1-year average of 4.24%. It sits midway between its 52-week high (4.67%) and low (3.97%), reflecting a year of gradual upward pressure.

The 2Y-10Y spread widened 2 bps this week to 31 bps, maintaining a positive slope. While still below its 52-week high of 74 bps, the spread's resilience suggests markets anticipate steady growth rather than imminent recession, though its narrow range flags lingering caution.

36-month yield spread chart
Fig. 2 — 2Y–10Y Treasury spread over 36 months. Green fill = normal curve; red fill = inverted (recession warning signal). Grey shading marks NBER-defined recessions where applicable.

Next week, focus turns to May PCE inflation data and Fed speakers for clues on rate-cut timing. Any surprises could test the 10Y's recent 4.30-4.50% range, with curve steepening likely if disflation trends hold.
