Reading the board

The 2s10s spread is the one people watch for recession risk. SOFR anchors the front end, and term premium is what the long end charges for duration risk. Supply pressure shows up at the Treasury auctions. The prints that move this board live on the economic data hubs, and what the Fed is pricing against sits on the inflation tracker and the jobs tracker.

FAQ

What is the 10-year Treasury yield today?

At the 5 Oct 2026 close the 10-year US Treasury yield was 5.31%, +3.0bp on the day. The 2-year was 4.84% and the 30-year 5.66%. That puts the 2s10s spread at +48bp. Helious updates this board at each official daily close and reads the curve regime live off the tape on the Helious rates board.

Is the US Treasury yield curve inverted?

No. At the 5 Oct 2026 close the 10-year yield (5.31%) was above the 2-year (4.84%), so the 2s10s spread was +48bp, a positively sloped curve. An inverted curve means short-dated yields above long-dated ones. See the 2s10s spread explainer.

What is SOFR today?

SOFR, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, was 3.89% for 5 Oct 2026, against an effective Fed Funds rate averaging 3.75% in September 2026. SOFR is the overnight rate US dollar loans and swaps are priced from. See what SOFR is.

What is the US Treasury yield curve doing today?

As of 7 Oct 2026 04:35 UTC, the US Treasury yield curve is a bear steepener: front leg (2s5s) +1.8bp, long leg (10s30s) +2.2bp, spread change +0.4bp. Long end rising fastest, dragging the front end with it. Term premium building on inflation or supply risk. Helious classifies the regime from leg averages on the live tape and publishes it on the Helious rates board.

Is the Treasury yield curve steepening or flattening right now?

It is steepening. 10s30s is +2.2bp and 2s5s is +1.8bp, so the spread between them has moved +0.4bp this session. See the 2s10s spread explainer.

What is a bull flattener?

A bull flattener is yields falling right across the curve with the long end falling faster than the front end, so the curve flattens. Bull is the falling yields, flattener is the narrowing gap. It is the classic growth scare trade, or money bidding for duration. Swap either half and you have one of the other three: a bull steepener is rate cuts being priced, a bear steepener is term premium building on inflation or supply risk, and a bear flattener is hikes, or fewer cuts, being priced. See how to read the yield curve.

How does Helious classify the Treasury curve regime?

Leg averages: front leg = avg(2Y, 5Y), long leg = avg(10Y, 30Y). Direction is the sign of the average change (falling yields = bull), shape is the sign of the long leg minus front leg change (widening = steepener). Moves inside a 0.4bp deadband on both axes read as no regime. Helious reads the regime off the live tape rather than deriving it from end-of-day files, so it carries an intraday flip time and a previous-session close. The Helious methodology sets out the sourcing.
