Yield Curve - Definition Definition: It's a graphical representation of the yields on bonds with various maturities. It's gradually sloping upwards. TeenAnalyst Advice: The idea is that bonds with longer maturities pay higher interest rates. When bonds with shorter maturities pay higher interest rates, the curve is sloping downward. This is called an "inverted yield curve." This isn't a very common occurrence.
