Yield Curve is a graphical representation of the interest rates on debt for a range of maturities. It shows the yield an investor is expecting to earn if they lend their money for a given period of time. An inverted curve appears when long-term yields fall below short-term yields. An inverted yield curve occurs due to the perception of long-term investors that interest rates will decline in the future. A Basis Point is equal to 1/100th of a percentage point (100 basis points = 1%).

Nominal GDP is a measure of economic output that uses current prices and does not adjust for inflation. “CPI” refers to the Consumer Price Index, which is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. Core CPI excludes food and energy. “Magnificent 7” is a term adopted by the financial industry to describe the top seven technology companies currently investing heavily in artificial intelligence (AI). The seven companies are Meta Platforms, Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla. The previously used “FAANGs” acronym, coined in 2017, described the top technology companies at the time and included Meta Platforms (f/k/a Facebook), Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google (now trading under its parent company, Alphabet). “Mega-caps” refers to companies with market capitalizations in excess of $200 billion.
