• Yield curves show interest rates for bonds with the same credit and different maturities.
  • The three main types of yield curves include normal, inverted and flat. An upward slope (also known as normal yield curves) is when long-term bonds have higher yields than short-term ones.
  • While normal curves indicate economic growth, downward (inverted) curves indicate economic decline.
  • Yield curve rates are published on the Treasury website every trading day.
