Methodology and sources

Read the method, timing rules and caveats

US: 10-year rate (BC_10YEAR, %) from the US Treasury Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve Rates. Japan: 10-year rate from the Ministry of Finance JGB interest rate data (constant maturity, semiannual compounding, %). Both are published by date only; no time of day is added.

The spread is calculated only between values of the same observation date; values from different dates are never combined. Dates on which either side has no value (e.g. holidays) are not used.

spread (pp) = US10Y (%) − JP10Y (%)   ·   1 pp = 100 bp

Yields are in %, the spread in percentage points (pp, 1 pp = 100 bp). Zero and negative yields are used as they are.

This does not imply any correlation with exchange rates.

Guide for "Awaiting update" (a heuristic of this site, not an official publication calendar): FX and bond yields more than 10 calendar days after the latest observation date, policy rates more than 21 calendar days, monthly commodity prices when the reference month is 3 or more months ago. If retrieval has not succeeded for 48 hours or more, this is shown separately regardless of the observation date. Market holidays are not determined.
