Did you know?

US Treasury bonds are the global 'risk-free rate' benchmark — the baseline from which all other assets are priced. Short-term Treasuries with maturities of one to three years closely track the Federal Reserve's policy rate, making them highly responsive to changes in monetary policy. When the Fed raised rates from near zero to over 5% between 2022 and 2023, short-term Treasury yields moved in near-lockstep, rewarding investors with yields that had not been seen for over a decade.
