Online Research » Eta Analysis » MacroRisk Factor - Long-Term Gov't Bond Yield
The Long-Term Government Bond Yield is how much an investor would make from buying a twenty-year treasury bond. It measures the lowest twenty-year interest rate in the United States, since government bonds are "risk-free." Originally, EconomicInvestor used thirty-year treasury bonds in its model, but the government stopped issuing these bonds on October 31, 2001. Since then, Eta Analysis has measured the effects of twenty-year treasury bonds in its MacroRisk model. These statistics are not seasonally adjusted.
