Yield Curve

Hi,

Probably a silly question but the Treasury yields that are used in the yield curve and also reported daily in the press, are they yields to maturity, or some other type of yield?

Thanks

I believe nominal treasuries show YTM vs. TIPS show current yield. The so called break even rate would be the spread between the two. Are newspapers still delivered?

Note, too, that both are given as bond equivalent yields (BEY), not effective annual yields (EAY).
