The 10Y-2Y Treasury spread fell to 0.33% on 15 October 2026, down from 0.37% the day before - a four-basis-point drop in a single session.[^1]

Four basis points is not a collapse. But this is a spread that has little room left to compress, and a one-day move of that size trims roughly 11% of what remained. FRED, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, carried the reading.

Also on 15 October 2026, FRED put the 30-year fixed mortgage rate at 7.4%.[^2] The two numbers sit in the same record on the same date, though the facts do not say one drove the other.

The number to track is whether the spread narrows further from 0.33% or finds a floor.
