1 Year T -Bill what is it?
One-Year/12-Month Constant Maturity Treasury (CMT)
This is an index published by the Federal Reserve Board based on the average yield of a range of Treasury securities, all adjusted to the equivalent of a one-year maturity. The US Treasury determines the yields on these securities by using the “daily yield curve”. The daily yield curve is based on the closing market-bid yields on actively traded Treasury securities in the over-the-counter market. This index tends to be volatile and responds quickly to changes in economic conditions.
