The spread between 10-year and 2-year Treasury yields widened to 0.41% as of Aug. 31, up from 0.39% on Aug. 28, according to FRED, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis data feed.[^1]

The 2-basis-point move is within the range of daily noise in the bond market. The spread remains below levels that would signal a steepening curve, though the available record covers only two readings.

By this paper's arithmetic, the move represents a roughly 5.1% increase in the spread over the three-day window. No further data points were provided to establish a trend.
