Week ending: February 23, 1977
D£C 2 6 197i| The shaPe of the yield curve for U.S. Treasury securities, which
indicates the yield/maturity relationship, is more steeply upward-sloping
over the short to intermediate maturity range as of February 15, 1977, than
it was in late November 1976. While the yields on Treasury securities of
all maturities have increased since the end of 1976, they are still below
the yields recorded a little over a year ago (January 23, 1976). Yields on
the intermediate-term securities (with maturities of 2 to 5 years) have
increased by a larger amount since November 1976 than either the shorteror longer-term issues. As a result, the shape of the yield curve is cur­
rently more typical of the yield curves generally observed for U.S. Treasury
securities: steeply upward-sloping over the shorter-term range of maturities
but flattening out over the longer-term range. This contrasts with the yield
curve in November 1976 which was more steeply upward-sloping over the longer-term
range of maturities than over the shorter-term range.
The factors which influence the shape and position of the yield curve
include:
(1) the composition of current credit demands relative to supplies
for the various ranges of maturities, (2) changing expectations of the com­
position of future credit demands relative to supplies, (3) changing assess­
ments of risk, and (4) changing expectations of future inflation.
