About This Metric

10-Year Treasury Yield (DGS10) is the yield on U.S. Treasury securities with a 10-year maturity. This is a key benchmark interest rate that influences borrowing costs across the economy.

Treasury yields affect borrowing costs for corporations and the government. Rising yields can increase financing costs for defense contractors, impacting their ability to invest in new capabilities and take on large contracts. Yields also reflect inflation expectations and economic growth projections, which influence defense budget planning and procurement decisions.
