Rates 101: Why interest rates move and how to read the yield curve
- Rates
In this educational session, ING's Senior UK and Eurozone Rates Strategist, Michiel Tukker, offers a practical guide on why market interest rates move, what shapes the yield curve, and what it can tell us about the economy and financial markets
The yield curve is one of the most discussed indicators in finance. It's also one of the topics most people pretend to understand. If you've ever heard phrases like "curve steepening" or "terminal rate" and quietly hoped nobody would ask you to explain them, this session is for you. We'll cover why rates move, how to read the yield curve and why it matters for markets and the economy. No shame. No equations. Just rates.
