UNDERSTANDING YIELD CURVES A yield curve is a line graph that illustrates the relationship between the yields and maturities of fixed income securities. Yield curve graphs provide a quick way to review and compare the yields that different types of fixed income securities offer, and to determine investor expectations for market conditions in the future.
