Why is my T bill yield lower this week?
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I bought a 4 week t bill last week and another 4 week t bill this week. From my understanding short term treasury rates have gone up since last week based on inflation data, market outlook etc.</p> <p>Why is the cost basis on the 4 week t bill I bought last week lower than the t bill I bought this week? I’m interpreting the cost basis to be the original yield to maturity.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Johnwickwitastick25"> /u/Johnwickwitastick25 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/1147o4j/why_is_my_t_bill_yield_lower_this_week/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/1147o4j/why_is_my_t_bill_yield_lower_this_week/">[comments]</a></span>
