How To Read It

  • Term premium is estimated by a model rather than directly observed, so focus on its direction and regime instead of treating any single reading as exact.
  • A rising term premium with a stable expected short-rate component means investors are demanding more compensation for holding long-duration bonds.
  • The fitted yield equals the expected short-rate component plus term premium, which makes the source of a long-yield move visible in one chart.
