Consider the file named yield curves. If the current yield curve is the one represented by Yield Curve 1 (Normal), then we can guess that the bond market participants expect the one-year interest rates one year hence and two years hence to be percent and percent, respectively. On the other hand, if the yield curve was the inverted one, we could conclude that the bond market participants expect the one-year interest rates one year hence and two years hence to...
