Treasury 10-year yield stood at 4.69% on 08-20-2026
The 2-year was 4.19% on the same official par-curve row. The 0.50-point gap is subtraction, not a traded note.

U.S. Treasury Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve Rates, August 2026 table, trade date 08-20-2026.
On 08-20-2026, the Treasury 10-year constant-maturity yield was 4.69% and the 2-year was 4.19%. Subtract those two official prints and the gap is 0.50 percentage point. That gap is arithmetic. It is not a live quote and it is not a traded note.
For that trade date, the official par curve put the 10-year at 4.69%, the 2-year at 4.19%, and the 30-year at 5.23%. The next Treasury daily row replaces 08-20-2026. This page does not update itself.
Treasury’s official par curve for 08-20-2026 shows a 10-year constant-maturity yield of 4.69% and a 2-year of 4.19%. The 30-year on the same row is 5.23%. Those inputs are indicative bids around 3:30 p.m. This story is fixed to that trade date and the data are delayed.
4.69 minus 4.19 equals 0.50 percentage point. We show the subtraction. We do not treat that 0.50 as a separate official series or as a security you can buy.
A different official column, H.15 with release date 08-20-2026, reports a 10-year yield of 4.65% and an effective federal funds rate of 3.63% — both for 08-19-2026. FRED’s DGS10 reprint of 4.65% is the same 08-19-2026 observation. Leave those numbers on 08-19-2026. Do not average them with 08-20-2026.
CMT is a curve reading, not the bond in your account
A constant-maturity Treasury yield is interpolated onto a fixed tenor from the official par curve. It is not the coupon on whatever 10-year note happened to auction last. The 0.50 percentage point figure on this page is 4.69 minus 4.19, shown as a calculation.
One row, one trade date
10-year CMT 4.69% and 2-year CMT 4.19% on 2026-08-20; 10s−2s = 0.50 percentage point (shown calc). Open the Treasury August 2026 daily par-curve table. Read the 08-20-2026 row only. Do not drop in H.15 or FRED values from 08-19-2026 without changing the as-of.
