Treasury note

As explained in Investing for Programmers

A Treasury note is a medium-term debt security issued by the United States Treasury that matures in up to ten years.

A Treasury note is a medium-term, fixed-income security issued by the United States Treasury that matures in up to ten years. Investors lend money to the government, receive interest payments, and recover principal at maturity. section 5.2 section 5.5

Treat its market price as sensitive to interest-rate changes: rising Federal Reserve rates make existing lower-yield notes less attractive, while falling rates can increase their appeal. Selling before maturity therefore introduces a capital-gain or capital-loss trade-off. section 5.2

Inspecting Treasury bond data

Load US10Y data into a pandas DataFrame through an EODHD request, then plot date against adjusted_close to examine historical price movement. Treat the chart as evidence for analysis, not as a guaranteed forecast. section 5.2
