About 5 Year Treasury Rate
What it measures
The 5-year Treasury rate (FRED series WGS5YR) is the weekly average of the 5-year constant maturity yield on US Treasury securities, derived by the Treasury from an interpolated curve fitted to secondary market quotes and published through the Federal Reserve H.15 statistical release. It is expressed as an annualized percentage yield.
Why it matters
The 5-year sits in the belly of the curve, blending near-term policy expectations with medium-term growth and inflation views, which makes it a favorite gauge for macro positioning. It anchors pricing for intermediate corporate bonds and many auto and commercial loans, and it pairs with the 5-year TIPS yield to produce a widely watched inflation breakeven.
How to read it
Rises reflect some combination of expected policy tightening, higher inflation compensation, and term premium; decompose the move using the 5-year TIPS yield to separate real from inflation components. The belly often leads turns in the cycle, cheapening fastest when hiking expectations build and rallying hardest when cuts come into view. Compare with the 2-year and 10-year to read curve shape.
