30-Year Treasury |

30-Year Treasury A U.S. Treasury debt obligation that has a maturity of 30 years. The 30-year Treasury used to be the bellwether U.S. bond but now most consider the 10-year to be the benchmark. Notes: The 30-year Treasury will generally pay a higher interest rate than shorter Treasuries to compensate for the additional risks inherent in the longer maturity. However, when compared to other bonds, Treasuries are relatively safe because they are backed by the U.S. government. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Use of the 30-year Treasury bond (no
longer issued), which had been used as the basis for calculations for
many years, proved to be a problem when long-term rates plunged in
recent years. The bill would provide a short-term, two-year pension funding
fix to replace the current 30-year Treasury bond interest rate that is
used by many employers to calculate the amount of money they must set
aside in their employee pension plans with a conservative corporate bond
rate for two years through 2005. Specifically, a reduction
in the supply of 30-year Treasury bonds should have caused bond prices
to increase and yields to decline. |
