Federal Reserve data as of June 24–25 shows the 10-year Treasury yield at 4.41%, the 2-year at 4.11%, producing a 10Y-2Y spread of 0.31 basis points — unchanged from the prior cycle. SOFR printed 3.64% against a Fed Funds rate of 3.63%, confirming no surprise easing signal in the overnight market. The 10-year inflation breakeven stands at 2.21%, down 2 basis points from the prior observation, per FRED. The implied real yield holds near 2.20%.
HY credit spreads are at 2.78%, per FRED data as of June 25 — tight by historical standards but not compressing further. VIX closed at 18.89, reflecting contained volatility without a risk-on directional commitment.
