UST05Y
Bonds5-Year Treasury / USD
UST05Y tracks CBOT 5-Year US Treasury Note futures (ticker ZF) on $100,000 face value. Sitting mid-curve, it reacts sharply to shifts in Fed policy-path expectations and is a common vehicle for trading the rate outlook; its duration is between 2-year and 10-year contracts — less volatile than long bonds, more than the front end. Prices move inversely to yields, driven by the same forces as the 10-year (FOMC, CPI, payrolls, Treasury supply). Hours: opening Sunday 17:00 and closing Friday 16:00 Central Time, with a daily 16:00–17:00 CT maintenance break; closed on weekends.
