4. Term Of The Day 📚
Yield Curve
📖Definition: A graph showing interest rates across bonds of varying maturities (e.g., 2‑year to 30‑year Treasuries).
📊 Why it matters: It reflects market expectations—an inverted curve signals recession fears, while a steep curve implies growth optimism.
💡 Example: If the 2‑year yield is 4.0% and the 10‑year yield is 4.4%, it's a positive (normal) yield curve. An inversion occurs when the 2‑year tops over the 10‑year yield.
5. Song Of The Day 🎧
Track: “Under the Influence” – Chris Brown
🎶 Why it hits: Smooth R&B vibes with a late-night mood — perfect to dial down stress and regain focus during a turbulent market morning.
