Long-term US government bond yield in % per year. It is a benchmark for long-term borrowing costs and for valuing stocks. Subtract US consumer price index, CPI (Shiller) inflation for a rough real rate.

Yields rose from the 1950s to the early 1980s and then fell for decades. For other countries use Long-term interest rates (OECD); its definitions and dates differ, so the two are not directly comparable.
