Yield Curve and Term Spread

Treasury yield curve is one important indicator financial economists keep a close eye on every time.

This is an exercise for you to familiarize yourself with the yield curve concept.

$(1)$ With a graphical tool of your choice $($except your hands,$)$ draw today's $($or the day before's$)$

Treasury yield curve. $($Hint: Which government agency takes care of the 'Treasury' bonds?$)$

$(2)$ Term spread is widely considered as a leading indicator of future economic boom$/$bust$.$ There

are many different definitions for the word 'term spread', but the most widely used definition is

$\text{'}10-$year maturity Treasury yield $-3-$month maturity Treasury yield'. Based on this definition, what

is the term spread today? How has the daily term spread been over last $10$ days? Any thoughts?
