2-Year Government Bond Yield (USD)

The yield on 2-year government bonds. This is highly sensitive to Central Bank policy expectations over the near term (2 years). A rising 2-year yield signals markets expect the Central Bank to hike rates, which is typically bullish for the currency. It is often used to trade interest rate differentials between two economies.
