Terms of Payment Breakeven rate is determined by: b. The difference between inflation-protected and nominal debt of the same duration in terms of yield. If the breakeven rate is negative, speculators are speculating that the economy will experience deflation soon.
What exactly are Treasury Breakeven Points?
The difference between the 5 year Treasury rate and the 5 year Treasury inflation-indexed security rate is used to compute the 5 Year TIPS/Treasury Breakeven Rate. This figure is used by market participants to estimate what inflation will be in the next 5 years on average. The breakeven rate was as low as -2.24 percent during the Great Recession.
The 5 Year TIPS/Treasury Breakeven Rate is 3.34 percent, down from 3.41 percent the day before and 2.54 percent the year before. This is greater than the 1.87 percent long-term average.
What is the inflation rate after ten years?

The most recent value represents market participants’ average expectations for inflation over the following ten years.
Treasury bond data used in computing interest rate spreads is now collected directly from the US Treasury Department, as of the June 21, 2019 update.
What are inflation-protected bonds and how do they work?
TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities) give inflation protection. As assessed by the Consumer Price Index, the principal of a TIPS increases with inflation and falls with deflation. When a TIPS matures, the adjusted principal or the original principal, whichever is greater, is paid to you.
TIPS pay a fixed rate of interest twice a year. Because the rate is applied to the adjusted principal, interest payments grow with inflation and fall with deflation, just like the principal.
TreasuryDirect is where you may get TIPS from us. TIPS can also be purchased through a bank or broker. (In Legacy TreasuryDirect, which is being phased out, we no longer sell TIPS.)
