How this service works

Short-term risk-free rate based on 3-month Treasury bills. Used as the short rate in the NY Fed recession probability model. Liquid, minimal credit risk. Key input for the 10Y-3M yield spread, which has the strongest historical recession prediction record. Daily frequency.

Output

Returns a JSON array of daily observations, each containing the raw rate value, month-over-month and year-over-year absolute and percentage changes, trailing 5-year and 12-month z-scores, percentile rank over 5 years, 3-month and 12-month rolling averages, and an above-trend binary flag. When fmt=toon is specified, returns a compact agent-friendly representation.

Example use cases

Recession probability model input

“I need the 3-month T-bill rate from January 2023 through today in JSON format — I'm feeding it into the NY Fed yield curve recession model alongside the 10-year Treasury yield.”

Yield curve inversion monitoring

“What's the current 3-month Treasury bill rate, and has it been above or below its 5-year historical average recently? I want to track whether the yield curve is still inverted.”

Risk-free rate for financial model

“Fetch the daily 3-month T-bill rate for the past 6 months — I need a daily risk-free rate series for a Sharpe ratio calculation I'm building.”

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need the short end of the U.S. yield curve — specifically the 3-month T-bill rate on a discount basis — for recession probability modeling (NY Fed model), yield spread calculations (10Y-3M), or any analysis requiring a liquid, near-risk-free short rate with pre-computed statistical context (z-scores, percentile ranks, rolling averages). Prefer this over generic FRED lookups when you want enriched derived metrics alongside the raw rate in a single call.
