1-Year CMT Index

Many types of adjustable rate mortgage loans are indexed to the CMT Index (constant maturity of U.S. treasuries).  Below is a chart of CMT rates for the last 10 years.  CMT residential mortgage loans normally have 2.75% margin rate.  Both CMT and LIBOR are faster moving the 12 MTA index (12 month treasury average). 

 

1 Year CMT Index  The CMT Index is based on the weekly average yield of the United States Treasury securities, adjusted to a constant maturity of 1 year, as made available by the Federal Reserve.  The CMT Index is based on yields published in the release entitled the "Selected Interest Rates H-15" which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve Board.  Although the CMT index is published weekly, this chart only shows historical data on a monthly basis.
