Daily interest rate change for a day = △Y = Y(t) - Y(t-1)

where Y(t) = 10 year treasury constant maturity rate for the day and Y(t-1) = 10 year treasury constant maturity rate for previous trading day

Daily interest rate change for 05-01-2015 = 10 year treasury constant maturity rate for 05-01-2015 - 10 year treasury constant maturity rate for 02-01-2015 = 2.04 - 2.12 = -0.08

Daily interest rate change for 06-01-2015 = 10 year treasury constant maturity rate for 06-01-2015 - 10 year treasury constant maturity rate for 05-01-2015 = 1.97 - 2.04 = -0.07

Daily interest rate change for 07-01-2015 = 10 year treasury constant maturity rate for 07-01-2015 - 10 year treasury constant maturity rate for 06-01-2015 = 1.96 - 1.97 = -0.01

Daily interest rate change for 08-01-2015 = 10 year treasury constant maturity rate for 08-01-2015 - 10 year treasury constant maturity rate for 07-01-2015 = 2.03 - 1.96 = 0.07

Daily interest rate change for 09-01-2015 = 10 year treasury constant maturity rate for 09-01-2015 - 10 year treasury constant maturity rate for 08-01-2015 = 1.98 - 2.03 = -0.05

Similarly values can be calculated for other days, As there no value available of yield for 19-01-2015, hence we will not calculate daily interest change for 19-01-2015 and 20-01-2015.

We get the following table
