30-Year Treasury
(redirected from 30-Year Treasury Bond)

    0.01 sec.
30-Year Treasury
A debt security owed by the United States government for a period of 30 years. Each 30-year Treasury has a stated interest rate, which is paid semi-annually. Because the United States is seen as a very low-risk borrower, many investors see 30-year Treasury interest rates as indicative of the state of the wider bond market. Normally, the interest rate decreases with greater demand for 30-year Treasury securities and rises with lower demand. As with other U.S. Treasury securities, 30-year Treasuries are negotiable and may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter. See also: yield, bond, treasury note, treasury bond, treasury bill.

The Long-Term Treasury Bond futures are being launched in response to strong customer demand for a contract that mimics the duration of a 30-year Treasury bond," said Robin Ross, CME Group Managing Director of Interest Rate Products.
The legislation includes repeal of the Section 809 tax on mutual insurers and temporarily replaces for two years the 30-year Treasury bond with a corporate bond blend as the basis for funding defined benefit pension plans.
The funding burdens caused by the continued use of the 30-year Treasury bond to calculate required contributions has made the sponsorship of defined benefit plans much more difficult.
