What a government bond yield shows
A government bond yield is the annual return an investor earns by buying a government bond at today’s price and holding it until it matures. Price and yield move in opposite directions: when the price of a bond falls, its yield rises.
Yields differ by maturity. Short maturities stay close to the central bank’s policy rate; longer ones also reflect expected future rates and inflation and the extra return asked for lending longer. All maturities of one date form the yield curve; when shorter yields are above longer ones, that part of the curve is inverted.
The figures here are daily end-of-day values as each source publishes them, often on the next business day, and every value carries its date. They are not intraday prices. Several sources publish yields read from a fitted curve rather than the yield of one traded bond; each country page says which.
Data, sources and method
Each value is stored exactly as the source published it, in percent per annum. A day without a published value, such as a weekend or a holiday, has no value: nothing is filled in, carried forward or interpolated.
Changes are differences between two published values in basis points, calculated by Lzzo.com. A series whose latest value is more than 30 days old (monthly series: 120 days) is not listed.
