Bond yields represent the return investors earn by holding a bond until maturity. 
Yields fluctuate based on interest rates, bond prices, and perceived risk. When bond prices fall, yields rise, and when prices rise, yields fall.
The yield curve is a graph showing returns on bonds with varying maturities but similar credit quality. 
A normal yield curve slopes upward, meaning longer-term bonds have higher yields. 
An inverted yield curve slopes downward and is often seen as a warning of a possible recession.
The shape of the yield curve provides important economic signals. 
A steep curve often indicates strong future growth, whereas a flat curve shows uncertainty or slow growth. These changes help markets and policymakers predict economic trends.
Bond yields and the yield curve affect borrowing costs, investments, and the economy. 
Higher yields make borrowing expensive, slowing spending. Lower yields reduce borrowing costs but may hint at weaker economic activity.
Understanding these concepts helps investors and policymakers make better financial and economic decisions.
