Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Consider the following statements regarding Yield curve.
- The yield curve is a graph showing the relationship between interest rates earned on lending money for different durations.
- The yield curve turns positive when near-term Treasurys yield more than their long-term counterparts.
Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?
Correct
Solution: b)
The yield curve is a graph showing the relationship between interest rates earned on lending money for different durations.
Normally, someone who lent to the government or a corporation for one year (by buying a one-year government or corporate bond) would expect to get a lower interest rate than someone who lent for five or ten years, making the yield curve upward-sloping.
Recently In US the ten-year bond rate had fallen to the point at which the ten-year rate was below the two-year rate – so the yield curve was inverted.
The yield curve turns negative when near-term Treasurys yield more than their long-term counterparts.
