Long Term Perspective

Note that the spread between the Baa Corporate and the 30-year Treasury bond is wider than the spread between the AAA corporate bond and the T-bond. This does reflect market views of credit conditions among these lower rated corporate bonds.
Short Term Perspective

Yields on Baa corporate bonds are down from their peak reached in May. Nevertheless, yields have remained stable in the four months ending November.


2-year Treasury Yield & Spread to Fed Funds

Yield Spread: AAA Corporate vs. 30-year Treasury
Yield Spread: Baa Corporate vs. 30-year Treasury
