The U.S. 10-Year Bond is a debt obligation note by The United States Treasury, that has the eventual maturity of 10 years. The yield on a Treasury bill represents the return an investor will receive by holding the bond to maturity, and should be monitored closely as an indicator of the government debt situation. Investing resources into a 10 year treasury note is often considered favorable due to federal government securities being exempt from state and local income tax.
