The graphical representation of the yields of a set of bonds or other financial instruments with the same credit risk and currency, but with different maturities. Yield is plotted along the vertical axis and time to maturity on the horizontal axis. There are many different yield curves, including government benchmark curves, deposit curves, swap cu [..]

A yield curve shows the relationship between the yields on short-term and long-term bonds of the same investment quality. Since long-term rates are characteristically higher than short-term rates, a yield curve that confirms that expectation is described as positive. In contrast, a negative yield curve occurs when short-term rates are higher.A flat [..]

A graph that plots market yields on securities of equivalent quality but different maturities at a given point in time. The vertical axis represents the yields, while the horizontal axis depicts time [..]

A line graph that shows the relative yields on debt over a range of maturities from three months to 30 years. Investors, analysts and economists use yield curves to evaluate bond markets and interest...

Definition A curve that shows the relationship between yields and maturity dates for a set of similar bonds, usually Treasuries, at a given point in time.

Graph showing the TERM structure of interest rates by plotting the yields of all bonds of the same quality with maturities ranging from the shortest to the longest available.

A chart that graphically depicts the yields of different maturity bonds of the same credit quality and type. Yield is depicted on the vertical axis and maturity on the horizontal axis. A normal yield curve is upward sloping, with short-term rates lower than long-term rates. An inverted yield curve is downward sloping, with short-term rates higher t [..]

The graphical relationship between yield and maturity among bonds of different maturities and the same credit quality. This line shows the term structure of interest rates.

A graphic representation of market yield for a fixed income security plotted against the maturity of the security.

Graphical Depiction of interest rates on government bonds, with the current yield on the vertical axis and the years to maturity on the horizontal axis.

A graph that shows, at any given time, how the yield varies with the period to maturity. Usually, the curve slopes upwards but occasionally it slopes down or is flat. A flat yield curve means that [..]

A graph showing the relationship between bond yields and maturities.

A yield curve shows the relationship between the yield on securities and their maturities (how long it is until they can be redeemed at their face value).

 A graph showing the term structure of interest rates, plotting the yields of similar quality bonds by term to maturity.

A yield curve illustrates the relationship between prevailing interest rates based on the time remaining to maturity.

A chart in which the yield level is plotted on the vertical axis and the term to maturity of debt instruments of similar creditworthiness is plotted on the horizontal axis.

A yield curve is a graph that shows the relationship between interest rates and time.

This is a graph showing the yields for different bond maturities.

The line on a graph that shows yields of bonds,showing the relationship between short and long term interest rates.

A diagram of interest rates prevailing on a class of securities that are alike in every respect except term to maturity. A yield curve can be sloping either upward or downward.

A curve showing several yields or interest rates across different contract lengths (2 month, 2 year, 20 year, etc.) for a similar debt contract. The curve shows the relation between the (level of) int [..]

A graph with a left-to-right line that shows how high or low yields are, from the shortest to the longest maturities. Typically (and when the yield curve is characterized as “steep,” this is especially true) the line rises from left to right as investors who are willing to tie up their money for a longer period are rewarded with higher yields. A fl [..]

A graphical representation off all the yields of bonds of the same quality with maturities ranging from the shortest to the longest available.

The relationship at a given point in time between yields on fixed-income securities with varying maturities-commonly, Treasury bills, notes and bonds. The curve typically slopes upward because longer maturities normally have higher yields, although it can be flat or even "inverted" or downward sloping. Yield to maturity

The relation between the interest rate (rate of borrowing) and the time to maturity of the debt for a given borrower in a given currency.

A graphical description of the relationship between time to m aturity and yields to maturity for a given risk class of securities.
