What is a yield curve?
A yield curve reflects the interest rates of bonds that have equal creditworthiness but different maturity dates. For instance, the most popularly tracked US Treasury yield curve reflects the relationship between these US government bonds with various maturities (from 1 month to 30 years).

A higher dividend-payout ratio is usually good for investors, unless the company has better avenues to reinvest profits
