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.
The term spread measures the difference between the coupons, or interest rates, of two bonds with different maturities or expiration dates. This difference is also known as the slope of the bond yield curve, which is a graph that plots the interest rates of bonds of equal quality, but different maturity dates at a specified point in time.
