Beginning October 11, 2016, the Federal Reserve Board will cease publication of the following interest rates on its Selected Interest Rates (H.15) statistical release: Eurodollar deposits, interest rate swaps, corporate bonds, state and local bonds, and conventional mortgages. These interest rates are not produced by the Board and are available from their original sources before they are published by the Board on the H.15. The Board has judged that, given the alternative sources available to the public, the costs of collecting and publishing these data outweigh the benefits.
A list of sources for the discontinued data is available at: http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/h15_technical_qa.htm
The Board will continue to publish the following interest rates in the H.15 release: federal funds (effective), commercial paper, bank prime loan, discount window primary credit, and U.S. Treasury securities.
Additionally, the Board will no longer publish the H.15 in PDF format or publish weekly and monthly averages directly on the H.15. Weekly and monthly averages will continue to be available, along with other historical data, through the Board's Data Download Program.
