30-Year Treasury Yield Today: 5.64%
The 30-year Treasury bond — the “long bond” — is the longest-dated security the US government issues, and its yield is currently 5.64% as of September 30, 2026, +0.05pp versus the previous close.
Because its cash flows stretch three decades into the future, the 30-year is the most sensitive Treasury to changes in long-run inflation expectations and fiscal risk. Its yield is dominated by the term premium rather than the near-term policy path, which is why it often tells a different story than the 2-year or the 10-year.
A widening gap between the 30-year and the 10-year — a steepening long end — typically reflects investors demanding more compensation for holding duration: concerns about deficits and issuance, sticky inflation, or uncertainty about the credibility of the inflation target. A flattening or falling long bond usually means the market is comfortable that inflation is contained.
For portfolios, the long bond is the purest duration expression in the Treasury market and a common hedge against equity drawdowns, though that hedge worked poorly in 2022 when both stocks and long bonds fell together. We track it daily on the RiskCurve dashboard.
It is 0.39pp higher than a month ago (Aug 31, 2026), and 0.91pp higher than a year ago (Sep 30, 2025).
It is above the 4.92% average of the period we track, which has run from 4.54% (Oct 22, 2025) to 5.64% (Sep 30, 2026) — the highest in that window (since Aug 28, 2025).
