On July 17, 2026 the ten-year Treasury par yield was 4.55 percent, down 2 basis points from 4.57 percent in the prior session, according to the Treasury par curve as published by the St. Louis Fed.

The two-year was 4.18 percent. People will tell you the pair means the market has decided something about the next meeting. The pair means the two-year note and the ten-year note cleared at those yields. A decision by the committee, if there is one, will be a document with a vote.
