What is 20-Year Government Bond Yield?
The 20-year government bond yield captures the long end of the curve, dominated by term premium and structural growth-and-inflation expectations rather than near-term policy.
Why it matters for FX
20y yields are important for pension-fund and insurance asset-liability management. Sharp moves can signal supply-demand imbalances at the long end (gilt crisis 2022) and spill into FX through fiscal-credibility channels.
How to read this page
Compare across currencies and watch the 10y-20y slope and the 20y-30y slope. Curve inversions at the long end signal duration-buying pressure.
