2. Weekly figures are averages of 7 calendar days ending on Wednesday of the current week; monthly
figures include each calendar day in the month.
3. Annualized using a 360-day year or bank interest.
4. On a discount basis.
5. Interest rates interpolated from data on certain commercial paper trades settled by The
Depository Trust Company. The trades represent sales of commercial paper by dealers or direct
issuers to investors (that is, the offer side). The 1-, 2-, and 3-month rates are equivalent to the
30-, 60-, and 90-day dates reported on the Board's Commercial Paper Web page
(www.federalreserve.gov/releases/cp/).
6. An average of dealer bid rates on nationally traded certificates of deposit.
7. Bid rates for Eurodollar deposits collected around 9:30 a.m. Eastern time.
8. Rate posted by a majority of top 25 (by assets in domestic offices) insured U.S.-chartered
commercial banks. Prime is one of several base rates used by banks to price short-term business
loans.
9. The rate charged for discounts made and advances extended under the Federal Reserve's primary
credit discount window program, which became effective January 9, 2003. This rate replaces that for
adjustment credit, which was discontinued after January 8, 2003. For further information, see
www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/press/bcreg/2002/200210312/default.htm. The rate reported is that
for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Historical series for the rate on adjustment credit as
well as the rate on primary credit are available at www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/data.htm.
10. Yields on actively traded non-inflation-indexed issues adjusted to constant maturities. The

on February 9, 2006. From February 18, 2002, to February 9, 2006, the U.S. Treasury published a
factor for adjusting the daily nominal 20-year constant maturity in order to estimate a 30-year
nominal rate. The historical adjustment factor can be found at
www.treas.gov/offices/domestic-finance/debt-management/interest-rate/ltcompositeindex_historical.shtml.

Description of the Treasury Nominal and Inflation-Indexed Constant Maturity Series
Yields on Treasury nominal securities at "constant maturity" are interpolated by the U.S. Treasury
from the daily yield curve for non-inflation-indexed Treasury securities. This curve, which relates
the yield on a security to its time to maturity, is based on the closing market bid yields on
actively traded Treasury securities in the over-the-counter market. These market yields are
calculated from composites of quotations obtained by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The
constant maturity yield values are read from the yield curve at fixed maturities, currently 1, 3,
and 6 months and 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20, and 30 years. This method provides a yield for a 10-year
maturity, for example, even if no outstanding security has exactly 10 years remaining to maturity.
Similarly, yields on inflation-indexed securities at "constant maturity" are interpolated from the
daily yield curve for Treasury inflation protected securities in the over-the-counter market. The
inflation-indexed constant maturity yields are read from this yield curve at fixed maturities,
currently 5, 7, 10, and 20 years.
