Abstract

Anyone with an involvement in the bond markets must become keenly interested in the yield curve. This applies whether one is a bond trader or bond investor, or even if one is just a student of the markets. The yield curve is the most important indicator in the bond market. As a private investor, it will help greatly your understanding and appreciation of bonds if you understand, and follow, the yield curve.1 In this chapter I shall describe and explain the yield curve, and then look at its importance for the private investor. (This is rather more technical than other chapters in the book, and sources named are listed in the references at the end of the chapter, on page 136.)
