🤓 Inside Scoop...

US Treasury bonds are little IOU's from the United States government. Governments and corporations can borrow money from thousands or millions of people at the same time by chopping up their debt into little, tradeable securities. The US Treasury bond with a 10-year lifespan, aka "The 10-year", "10-year T-note", or the "US 10-year Treasury Note", is the most commonly-tracked bond. People care about the price of that because it's seen as the safest, "risk-free" investment. If the price of that goes up, it means people want security.
