7 Oct 2026: 35-day bill yields rose as one-year yields fell
The 35-day yield moved from 2.29% to 3.36%, while the 364-day yield moved from 6.47% to 6.28% between the 2026-09-09 and 2026-10-07 auctions. The 364-day premium over 35 days moved from 4.18 to 2.92 percentage points.
Arrows show percentage-point changes from a common zero. Their lengths are scaled to the largest move among these four tenors; exact auction yields and changes are printed alongside. Each yield is a published Bank of Tanzania weighted average. The premium subtracts the 35-day yield from the 364-day yield on the same auction date; no intermediate auction values are inferred.
