Overview

The 10-Year Treasury yield as quoted on the CBOE under the ticker ^TNX. Reported in percent on a daily frequency. The series tracks the same underlying instrument as macro_ust_10y (the FRED constant-maturity series) but is sourced from CBOE and divided by 10 to express the value as a percentage rather than basis points x 10.

Interpretation

  • Rising yields reflect tighter monetary conditions, higher inflation expectations, or stronger growth expectations.
  • Falling yields typically accompany flight-to-safety flows, deflation fears, or expectations of Fed easing.
  • A divergence from macro_ust_10y is rare and usually due to intraday quoting differences.

Use Cases

  • Cross-check against the FRED 10-Year series for data integrity.
  • Use as a discount-rate proxy when modelling Bitcoin valuation under the "digital gold" thesis.
  • Combine with macro_real_yield and macro_dxy to gauge the macro liquidity backdrop for risk assets like BTC.
