Data notes
- Treasury yields: Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve Rates, U.S. Department of the Treasury. Yields are in percent; "Change" is the move since the previous business day in percentage points. The grey line on the chart is the curve about a month earlier.
- Federal funds: Effective Federal Funds Rate, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, with the target range set by the Federal Open Market Committee.
- Exchange rates: euro foreign exchange reference rates of the European Central Bank, converted to a US dollar base by Frankfurter.
