The US Treasury curve, the spreads that name the regime, and what's driving the long end — as of . Updated daily from FRED. A description of the curve, not a forecast.

Changes in basis points · rising yields in red (a headwind for bonds & long-duration equities), falling in green.
What moved the long end: The 10-year held roughly flat over the past month — neither real yields nor breakevens moved it decisively.
Rates → long-duration equities Closelook
The 10-year is the discount-rate axis for long-duration equities. Holding cash flows and duration fixed, a representative SaaS book — priced as a two-stage DCF — moves this much on the rate axis alone:
A sensitivity, not a forecast — the rate axis only; AI-driven duration risk is the second leg. Model all three levers on the SaaS valuation tool; the thesis is in the second-leg-down pulse.
The world's long end Global · monthly
Major-economy 10-year government yields and their spread to the US — FRED OECD series, monthly (as of May 2026).
| Economy | 10Y yield | vs prior month | vs US 10Y |
|---|---|---|---|
| Germany | 3.05% | +5 | +151 bps |
| United Kingdom | 4.94% | +12 | -38 bps |
| Japan | —% | — | — |
| Canada | 3.54% | +6 | +102 bps |
| France | 3.74% | +7 | +82 bps |
A positive spread = the US 10-year sits above that economy's. Daily foreign yields aren't on the free data stack, so this OECD panel is monthly — a structural read, not a tape.
The term ladder ETF proxies
