The British pound yield curve on February 9, 2005. This curve is unusual (inverted) in that long-term rates are lower than short-term ones. Yield curves are usually upward sloping asymptotically: the longer the maturity, the higher the yield, with diminishing marginal increases (that is, as one moves to the right, the curve flattens out).
Factor models use a large sample of historical yield curve data and construct a set of basis functions that can be linearly combined to represent these curve movements in the most economical way. The algorithm always attributes as much of the curve movement to the first basis function, then as much as possible to the second, and so on.

Even the legendary inverted yield curve indicator, which occurs when the yield on 3-month Treasury bills exceeds the yield on 10-year notes, has apparently stumbled. It's a perfect 8-for-8 in ...
The Federal Open Market Committee action known as Operation Twist (named for the twist dance craze of the time [1]) began in 1961.The intent was to flatten the yield curve in order to promote capital inflows and strengthen the dollar.
An inverted yield curve is an unusual phenomenon; bonds with shorter maturities generally provide lower yields than longer term bonds. [2] [3] To determine whether the yield curve is inverted, it is a common practice to compare the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond to either a 2-year Treasury note or a 3-month Treasury bill. If the 10 ...
Amid the recent financial market volatility, the interest rates on some long-dated government bonds have fallen below the level for short-term debt. Called a "yield curve inversion," this has been ...
"The disinversion of the yield curve in the past few months is a meaningful boon to how banks make money," and will help facilitate bank lending amid an ongoing trend of easing standards that pre ...
