Treasury Yield Curve

The Treasury Yield Curve is a graph showing the interest rates of U.S. government bonds across different maturities, from short-term (like one month) to long-term (up to 30 years). Typically, longer-term bonds yield higher interest rates, reflecting the greater risk over time. The shape of the curve provides insights into economic expectations; a steep curve indicates growth prospects, while a flat or inverted curve may signal economic uncertainty or a recession. Investors and policymakers use the yield curve to gauge financial health and make informed decisions.
