A inverted slope yield curve pridecits future increase in inflation.
Yield Curves ( for an example see: http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/rates/index.html ). The Yield Curve is a graphic plot of Yields to Maturity for Benchmark Government Securities (vertical axis) versus the Time to Maturity (expressed in Years, Horizontal Axis). The Shape of the Yield Curve shows investors what the market consensus is on Interest Rate expectations for the future. For example a steeply upward sloping Yield Curve as we have at the time of writing implies that investors expect interest rates to rise very considerably over the coming months and years. The Yield Curve can also be used simply to illustrate where in the maturity spectrum the highest or lowest yields are available. Corporate and other Non-Government securities (see www.davidandgoliathworld.com) are typically priced at a yield spread (extra yield) over the Government Yield Curve - which therefore in turn implies that the Government Yield Curve is necessary information for anyone looking to issue or invest in Corporate Bonds

The yield on a 10-year bond would be less than that on a 1-year bill
If the yield curve is downward sloping, the yield to maturity on a 10-year Treasury coupon bond relative to that on a 1 year T-bond is the yield on the 10 year bond. It will be less than the yield on a 1-year bond.Ê
The yield curve is basically a line graph that plots the rates for treasury securities of different maturities in a country. It shows the rates of interest that the different securities pay.
A yield curve is a graph that shows the relationship between yield and maturity on bonds. The graph plots the time or maturity on the x-axis and the yield on the y-axis. The yield curve will show how the yield on the bond changes with varying maturities.
The yield on a 2 year corporate bond will always exceed the yield on a 2 year treasury bond
The yield on a 2 year corporate bond will always exceed the yield on a 2 year treasury bond
Which of the following is most correct?a. The yield on a 2 year corporate bond will always exceed the yield on a 2 year treasury bond.b. The yield on a 3 year corporate bond will always exceed the yield on a 2 year corporate bond.c. The yield on a 3 year treasury bond will always exceed the year on a 2 year treasury bond.d. All of the answers above are correct.e. Statements a and c are correct.
Yes, three different situations that I can think of: The 3-year and 10-year notes were issued on the same day, then the yield curve was inverted and short term rates were higher than long term rates. If the 3-year and 10-year notes were issued at different times, at the time the 3-year treasury note was issued, prevailing 3-year interest rates were higher than the 10-year rates at the time the 10-year was issued. If for some reason, the market vastly prefers 10-year terms over 3-year terms, and bids up the price of 10-year notes much higher than 3-year notes. This would depress the yield on 10-year notes, possibly below that of 3-year notes.
The yield curve is the relationship between an interest rate and the time to maturity for a given debt. Typical debts may be U.S. Treasury debt instruments (T-Bills, T-Notes, etc.) or the LIBOR lending rate. A yield curve is normally upward sloping, where short term lending would pay a lower rate (since it incurs less risk on the part of the borrower) compared to longer term lending (which places more risk on the borrower). In general the longer amount of time the lender loans money, the more that it earns as a result. However, yield curves -- adjusted daily -- can vary in their shape depending on current economic conditions, long term market outlook, etc. A yield curve describes the 'yield to maturity' of a collection of similar bonds (rating wise) with different periods to maturity.
