Answer 1

1-	FRED	FRED is the primary source of data maintained and collected by government
2-	Initial public offering	In this securities are very first time issued by the issuer
3-	Yield curve will move upwards	because decrease in interest rate would lead to increase in price and increased price would lead to up liftment of yield curve
4-	Nominal rate = real rate + inflation rate
5-	a period of persistent downward sloping curve	because a increase in interest rate curve would lead to a decreased yield curve so continuous increase in interest rate leads to recession
