A yield curve is a chart that shows the interest rates (or yields) on bonds with different maturity dates. We can think of the yield curve as a line that compares short-term interest rates to long-term ones, typically for US Treasury bonds.
Bond yields vary by maturity because investors demand different rates of return depending on the bond's duration, often due to inflation expectations, credit risks, and general economic conditions.
As such, the shape of the yield curve tells us a lot about what investors are expecting from the economy, offering a kind of financial weather forecast. The US Treasury Yield Curve is the most famous and often acts as a barometer for economic health, influencing decisions across various markets.
