Negative yield curve
Negative yield curve
A negative yield curve describes an economic environment characterized by long-term yields being lower than short-term yields. A simple example of this is when a five-year CD pays 3 percent, and a six-month CD pays 4 percent. Negative yield curves often precede economic recession. The negative yield curve is also called an inverted yield curve.
