The Inverted Yield Curve

The longer a loan needs to be, the higher the interest rate will be to reflect the additional period of time that the creditor cannot spend their money. An inverted yield curve is where shorter term loans are yielding higher interest rates than longer term loans. This does not happen in a free market and reflects a distortion in the market.
