What Are US Treasury Bonds — the mechanics
Treasuries fund the US federal government and price the global risk-free dollar rate. From overnight bills to 30-year bonds, they are the reference curve for mortgages, corporates and much of the world’s reserves.
In US usage ‘Treasury bond’ often means the 20- or 30-year coupon bond, while ‘Treasuries’ means the whole family. Bills are zero-coupon discounts; notes are 2–10 year coupons; TIPS are CPI-linked; FRNs float off a bill index.
They are backed by the US government. That is credit. Dollar inflation, duration and (for non-US investors) FX are separate risks.
The 10-year note is the global benchmark rate. Mortgage rates, corporate spreads and many models start from it. We print CBOE ^TNX with a date, not a vibe.
Official sources (US Treasuries)
Primary statistics and prospectuses for US Treasuries are published by the issuer, not by this newsroom. The labelled links at the end of this page go to those official sites (DMO, TreasuryDirect, Finanzagentur, MEF, AFT, SNB or ECB as relevant).
Our live board is a teaching overlay: dated prints, named sources, estimated ISIN lines. It is not a replacement for the issuer’s calendar.
