Annualized Volatility of 10‑Year Treasury Yields (Jan 2024–Nov 2025): 0.80 pp

Monthly Yield Fluctuations Unveiled, Guiding Analysts to a Calm Volatility Assessment

Question

Calculate the annualized volatility (standard deviation) of monthly changes in the
DGS10 Treasury yield from 2024-01-31 to 2025-11-30.

Monthly changes should be in percentage points (not percentage change).
Annualized volatility = monthly std * sqrt(12)

You may analyze volatility regimes, compare to other periods, and validate outliers,
but the final answer must be a single number.

FINAL ANSWER REQUIRED: Single number representing annualized volatility in percentage
points (e.g., 0.52 means yields typically vary ±0.52% annually)

=== FRED DATA - LLM GUIDE ===

SUMMARY

Monthly US economic data from FRED in INDIVIDUAL SERIES format. Each series is presented separately with its own date column. Values are separated by the tab character (ASCII 9, ' '). Treasury yields, stock indices, CPI/PPI, currency indices, GDP. No special chars in numbers. Units/scaling in guide.

=== DATASET INFO ===
Start: 2000-01-31 (Jan 2000)
End: 2025-11-30
Freq: Monthly (end-of-month)
Rows: 311
Series count: 5
Generated: 2025-12-11 15:04:45

=== DATE FORMAT ===
IMPORTANT: Dates are in compact MM/YYYY format (e.g., '11/2025').
Each date represents the END OF THAT MONTH (month-end data).
Example: '11/2025' means November 30, 2025 (or the last business day of November 2025, which was Friday, November 28, 2025).
When parsing, interpret MM/YYYY as the last calendar day of that month.
This compact format saves space. The actual observation is from the last trading/business day of each month.

=== VALUE SEPARATOR ===
CRITICAL: Values in the data section are separated by the tab character (ASCII 9, ' ').
The tab character (ASCII code 9, escape sequence ' ') separates each value.
When parsing, split each line on the tab character to extract values.
The tab character is a whitespace character that creates visible spacing.
Remember: the separator is the tab character (ASCII 9, ' ').

=== DATA STRUCTURE ===
FORMAT: INDIVIDUAL SERIES (each series output separately)

  • Each series has its own section with a header line.
  • Each series header shows: '--- [SERIES_CODE] ---'
  • Below each header is a two-column format.
  • Column 1: Date (in the specified date format)
  • Column 2: Value for that series
  • Columns are separated by the tab character (ASCII 9, ' ').
  • Date column is repeated for each series (allows independent parsing).

=== MISSING DATA ===
Forward fill enabled. Missing values filled by carrying last valid value forward. Quarterly data (GDP) repeats within quarter. Series not yet started show 'n/a' until first data point.
'n/a' = data unavailable (series not started yet or missing). Parse as missing/null/undefined.

=== NUMBER FORMAT ===
No commas (25000.00 not 25,000.00). No special chars/units. No % signs (4.5 = 4.5% not 0.045). Decimal precision 2-6 places. No scientific notation.

=== SERIES ORDER (INDIVIDUAL FORMAT) ===
Series [1]: PCEPILFE
Series [2]: GDP
Series [3]: DGS3MO
Series [4]: DGS5
Series [5]: DGS10

Each series has two columns: Date Value (separated by tab character (ASCII 9, ' '))

=== SERIES BY CATEGORY ===
PCE Inflation Index:
PCEPILFE = Core PCE Price Index (Ex Food & Energy)

GDP Measure:
GDP = Gross Domestic Product (Nominal)

Treasury Yield:
DGS3MO = 3-Month Treasury Yield
DGS5 = 5-Year Treasury Yield
DGS10 = 10-Year Treasury Yield

=== SERIES DETAILS ===
--- [1] PCEPILFE: Core PCE Price Index (Ex Food & Energy) ---
Cat: PCE Inflation Index
Units: Index (2017=100)
Ex: 115.00 means core prices are 15% higher than 2017 baseline (excluding food/energy)
Use: Same calculation as PCEPI: ((Current - 12mo_ago) / 12mo_ago) * 100. Fed's most closely watched inflation indicator for policy decisions.
Context: Core PCE is the Fed's PRIMARY inflation metric for policy decisions. When the Fed discusses its 2% inflation target, it refers to core PCE. More stable than headline PCE.

--- [2] GDP: Gross Domestic Product (Nominal) ---
Cat: GDP Measure
Units: Billions of dollars (not seasonally adjusted annual rate)
Ex: 25000.00 means $25 trillion annual GDP
Use: QUARTERLY data (repeats 3 months). Calculate annualized quarterly growth: ((Current_Qtr - Previous_Qtr) / Previous_Qtr) * 100 * 4
Context: Total economic output in current dollars. Growth rate is key recession indicator.

--- [3] DGS3MO: 3-Month Treasury Yield ---
Cat: Treasury Yield
Units: Percent per annum
Ex: 4.75 means 4.75% annual yield
Use: Use value directly - already in percentage form. Commonly used as risk-free rate in finance.

--- [4] DGS5: 5-Year Treasury Yield ---
Cat: Treasury Yield
Units: Percent per annum

--- [5] DGS10: 10-Year Treasury Yield ---
Cat: Treasury Yield
Units: Percent per annum
Ex: 4.25 means 4.25% annual yield
Use: Use value directly - already in percentage form. Most watched Treasury yield.
Context: THE BENCHMARK long-term rate. Affects mortgage rates, corporate borrowing. Inverted yield curve (10yr < 2yr) predicts recession.

=== PARSING INSTRUCTIONS ===

STRUCTURE:
Each series begins with '--- [CODE] ---' header. Following lines are two-column data: Date Value. Split each data line on the tab character (ASCII 9, ' ') to get date and value. Series are separated by blank lines and headers.

SEPARATOR REMINDER:
The tab character (ASCII 9, ' ') separates all values in the data section.
Tab character = ASCII 9 = ' '. Use tab-split when parsing.

DATE PARSING:
Dates are MM/YYYY format representing month-end. '11/2025' = end of November 2025 = last business day of Nov 2025.

NUMBERS:
Plain numbers (no commas/units). Yields in % (4.5=4.5%). Index vals use directly (see base yr). GDP in billions. 'n/a'=missing.

CALCULATIONS:
Inflation: ((CPI_now - CPI_12mo_ago) / CPI_12mo_ago) * 100
GDP growth: ((GDP_now - GDP_prev_qtr) / GDP_prev_qtr) * 100 * 4
Stock return: ((Price_now - Price_prev) / Price_prev) * 100
Yield spread: (10yr_yield - 2yr_yield)

TIME ANALYSIS:
Dates chronological. YoY: compare to 12 rows earlier. QoQ: GDP repeats 3 months.

Analysis Process
Question

Calculate the annualized volatility (standard deviation) of monthly changes in the
DGS10 Treasury yield from 2024-01-31 to 2025-11-30.

Monthly changes should be in percentage points (not percentage change).
Annualized volatility = monthly std * sqrt(12)

You may analyze volatility regimes, compare to other periods, and validate outliers,
but the final answer must be a single number.

FINAL ANSWER REQUIRED: Single number representing annualized volatility in percentage
points (e.g., 0.52 means yields typically vary ±0.52% annually)

Methodology
Extracted Data
Summary:

FORM B - Time series data extracted from support task 0b. The data consists of 23 monthly observations of the DGS10 Treasury yield (percent points) from 2024‑01‑01 to 2025‑11‑01. The required elements for the volatility calculation are:

  • dates: month‑end dates (datetime objects)
  • yields: float values in percentage points

Access method: The values are provided as Python lists. For analysis, create a DataFrame:

df = pd.DataFrame({'date': dates, 'yield': yields})

Then compute monthly changes, standard deviation, and annualized volatility as:

monthly_changes = df['yield'].diff().dropna()
std_monthly = monthly_changes.std()
annualized_vol = std_monthly * np.sqrt(12)

No additional parsing or missing‑value handling is required because the support task already supplied clean numeric data.

Task 1d
Tool knowledge
Query Cross-check the computed annualized volatility against typical historical volatility ranges for 10‑year Treasury yields to assess plausibility
Result

Typical annualized volatility of monthly changes in the 10‑year Treasury yield (DGS10) over the past several decades has hovered between roughly 0.4 % and 1.2 % points. In the 1990s and early 2000s the volatility was on the lower end of that band (≈0.4–0.6 pp), reflecting a relatively calm interest‑rate environment. During the 2008‑2009 financial crisis the volatility spiked to the upper end (≈1.0–1.2 pp) as rates fell sharply and policy rates were aggressively cut. In the post‑crisis recovery and the 2010s the volatility settled back to the mid‑range (≈0.5–0.8 pp). The most recent period (2018‑2023) has seen volatility around 0.5–0.7 pp, with a brief uptick to about 0.8 pp in 2020‑2021 during the pandemic‑related rate cuts.

A value of approximately 0.49 percentage points, as calculated for the 2024‑01 to 2025‑11 window, sits at the very bottom of the historical range. It indicates an unusually calm period for the 10‑year yield, comparable to the quietest years of the 1990s and early 2000s, and well below the average volatility observed over the last two decades. In practical terms, this suggests that the 10‑year yield was moving very smoothly during that timeframe, with month‑to‑month changes largely confined to a narrow band of about ±0.5 pp on an annualized basis.
