      Note to Users of the H.15 Statistical Release
 

 

Effective today, several changes are being made to the H.15 release:
 

Rates for fixed-rate payers in interest rate swaps, as collected under
the auspices of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association,
Inc., are being added. These swap rates are for maturities of 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 7, 10, and 30 years.
 

No longer appearing on the release are auction highs for 3-month,
6-month, and 1-year Treasury bills. These figures continue to be
available from the Treasurys website: www.publicdebt.treas.gov. Also
being dropped is the Treasury composite (an unweighted average of yields
on all outstanding bonds neither due nor callable in less than 10
years).
 

Finally, the H.15 no longer contains rates for 3-month and 6-month
bankers acceptances. The quotes continue to be available on Telerate,
which was the source for these rates as reported on the H.15.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TREASURY CONSTANT MATURITY SERIES
 

Yields on Treasury securities at "constant maturity" are interpolated by the U.S. Treasury from the
daily yield curve. 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 3 and 6 months and 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20, and 30 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. In estimating the 20-year constant maturity, the Treasury incorporates the prevailing
market yield on an outstanding Treasury bond with approximately 20 years remaining to maturity.
