First, define the yield curve. Then, do some research and determine the current state of the yield curve, and how it has changed recently. Here is a good resource for tracking the yield curve:

Treasury Yields https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/interest-rates/pages/textview.aspx?data=yield

Is the yield curve flattening, becoming inverted, or steepening?
