Constant Maturity Treasury (CMT) Financial Glossary

What is it? Since on any given day there is rarely a security issue with exactly 1 year remaining until its maturity date (or other specified term), the Constant Maturity Treasury is a calculated valued reported by the Federal Reserve Board in Statistical Release H15 to express what the yield would be on US Treasury securities for various specified fixed terms. Data is reported daily for values effective for specific dates, and as averages in effect for each week, month and year. For example, the weekly average yield on US Treasury securites with a constant maturity of one year is a common Index used for adjustable rate mortgages.
