WHITEBOARD: What is a yield curve?

Paddy Hirsch Sep 12, 2011

If you’ve been following what the Federal Reserve is doing with the interest rate of late, you have probably heard them talk about the yield curve. In this latest Marketplace Whiteboard video, I explain what the curve is and what happens if it gets flattened.
