The daily effective federal funds rate is posted through Nov 11, 2026. Retrieved Nov 13, 2026.

2026 monthly averages

Treasury columns are averages of official daily par yields for each calendar month. The federal funds column through October is FRED's FEDFUNDS monthly average of the daily effective rate. November is month-to-date: Treasury yields through Nov 12 (8 trading days) and the daily effective federal funds rate through Nov 11 (11 days, all at 3.88%). FRED had not yet published a November FEDFUNDS monthly average as of Nov 13, 2026.

How to read the two kinds of Treasury yields

The auction high yield is set on auction day for that security, when Treasury awards the issue. The par yield curve is a daily Treasury publication that estimates yields across maturities. On Nov 12, the 10-year par yield was 5.10%, two days after the Nov 10 10-year note auctioned at 5.020%. The 2-year par yield was 4.86%, after the Oct 26 2-year note auctioned at 4.708%. A fuller picture of the curve is on the Treasury yield curve page.

The federal funds target range has been 3-3/4 to 4 percent since the Sep 15–16, 2026 FOMC meeting, and was held at the Oct 27–28 meeting. The next scheduled decision is Dec 9, 2026; dates are on the Fed meeting calendar. National average CD and savings rates, which move more slowly than bill yields, are on CD and savings rates and in the Fed rate vs CD and savings rates month-by-month table. This week's auctions and FDIC figures are also on Rates this week.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Rate Index?

It is a dated snapshot of official U.S. Treasury and federal funds rates, plus monthly averages of those official series for 2026. It is updated from the same government sources used elsewhere on YieldDocket, including the Friday Docket.

Why are there two 10-year figures?

The 10-year par yield is the U.S. Treasury's daily curve reading. The 10-year auction high yield is the rate set at the most recent 10-year note auction. They move together but are not the same number and are not set on the same day. The same distinction applies to the 2-year note.

What is the source for the federal funds rate?

The target range is the Federal Open Market Committee's range, shown here through FRED series DFEDTARL and DFEDTARU. The daily effective rate is FRED series DFF. The monthly figures in the table through October are FRED's FEDFUNDS monthly average. November's official monthly average had not been published as of Nov 13, 2026.

Does this page include CD and savings rates?

Not in the index table. National average CD and savings rates come from the FDIC and are on the CD and savings rates page, with a month-by-month comparison to Fed decisions on Fed rate vs CD and savings rates.
