    "A yield curve is a line that plots the interest rates of a series of bonds (usually of equal credit quality) of different maturities. The chart below displays the yield curve of respective governments’ treasury curve and are updated on a daily basis." https://www.bondsupermart.com/main/market-info/yield-curves-chart

    And I still don't know what it is ;-))  Tecnical Jagon for bonds.

    Me too m'dear. I read the definition and I was left knowing nothing more. What does it signify? What is making them nervous? The economy is seemingly BOOMING so why should a graph of interests rates of bonds distress anyone? I don't see the curve taking a drastic nosedive. AARRGGHH! So much for Econospeak. Thank you for your reply and the link. We're still in the dark about what it all means. SIGH.  :(
