US Treasury Bond Index Widget

[johnlutz]

I am looking for a widget to include on a website that displays somewhat current US Treasury Bond Yields (1M - 30Y). I don't mind to pay but not exorbitant amounts. I also don't mind having banners or ads on it. Right now, I can't find anything. Thanks.

I wouldn't look specifically for a T-bond widget - just a generic quote widget (for any stock, etc.). Most quote sources make these yields available.

Symbols may vary from source to source, but the most common symbol, for example, for the 30-year bond yield is $TYX.

So, you should be asking "what's the symbol", not "what's the widget."

For example, go to quote.com, enter symbol $TYX, there's your 30-year t-bond rate.

I assume they have a widget - along with dozens of other quote sites.

Thanks for the info jtara.

This is currently what I have displayed using a widget from widgetbox: (LiveStockQuotes)

^DJI 2:35pm $12522.43 -26.21 -0.21%
^IXIC 2:35pm $2336.80 +10.05 +0.43%
^XAX 2:35pm $2213.82 -5.81 -0.26%
^NYA 2:35pm $8928.54 +68.93 +0.78%
^GSPC 2:35pm $1352.02 +2.14 +0.16%
^RUT 2:15pm $705.49 +4.21 +0.60%
^FVX 2:15pm $2.607 +0.007 +0.27%
^TNX 2:15pm $3.513 -0.009 -0.26%
^TYX 2:15pm $4.315 +0.003 +0.07%

I found symbols for shorter bonds like 1M, 3M, etc : ^UST1M, ^UST3M, etc. However this widget doesn't like these names for some reason. Does anyone know of othe symbols for these bonds including 6M and 2Y?

Also, does anyone know of a ticker that shows the full name and not the symbol that you can customize like this one? I can find market summaries, but I can't find widgets that let you customize like this one and take the treasury symbols.

Thanks for any help. It is much appreciated.

Does anyone know of other symbols for these bonds including 6M and 2Y?

Unfortunately, these kind of market index symbols are not standardized, and vary from provider to provider. Most providers have some sort of symbol directory that you will have to browse through.
