This primer is a work in progress and is not yet complete. It currently covers the portal home page, Yields Monitor, Yield Curves, Ladder Manager, Treasury Auctions, TIPS Reference, CPI Explorer, Taxation of Treasuries, and Fund Holdings; more chapters are being added. Earlier draft slides follow below; they are not expected to appear in the final version — see the note at the end.
What follows, starting on the next page, is an earlier version of this primer. It is not expected to appear in the final version.
That earlier version focused on explaining Treasury concepts and terminology directly. This primer's focus has since changed to a walkthrough of the portal, explaining terminology and concepts only as necessary to understand the portal apps.
