Today’s rate is higher than 99.7% of the 4,516 trading days fitted since September 2, 2008. That is a count of days, not a position on the scale above: a rate can sit near the top of its range while only a few days ever reached it.

The real 7 year yield on the same day is 2.484%, so the market is pricing roughly 2.322% of inflation compensation at this maturity. That is a price, not a forecast.

Index levels before September 30, 2026 are back-tested. They were computed after the fact by applying the rules to historical data, which benefits from hindsight in the choice of rules, and an index cannot be invested in directly. Methodology v1.0 takes effect at that rebalance, when levels begin to be struck on the day; the rulebook is identical either way, and the version is published on every row.

A fitted curve is a fit, not a quote. Daily error averages 3.8 basis points across the history and reaches about 20 on the worst days, in December 2008, when the market was genuinely hard to fit one smooth curve to. Every curve page publishes its own fit error rather than burying it.

Free to benchmark against. Paid only to track. Measuring anything against these curves and indices is free. No license, no fee, no registration, and no permission needed to say that you did, including in a prospectus. A fee applies to one thing: launching a product that tracks an index.
