Interest Rates & Inflation Charts

Policy rates, the yield curve, Treasury yields, and the major inflation gauges.

Rates and inflation are the gravity of every other market. The federal funds rate sets the short end, the yield curve compresses the bond market's growth and inflation expectations into a single spread, and Treasury yields across maturities show the full term structure.

On the inflation side, headline and core CPI, the PCE gauges, breakeven rates, and the money supply describe how fast prices and liquidity are moving — the backdrop against which the central bank acts.
