Bear Steepener

A bear steepener is a movement in the fixed-income market where long-term yields rise more quickly than short-term yields, causing the yield curve to steepen.

Example: In a market update, analysts described a bear steepener when longer-term Treasury yields climbed faster than short-term yields, causing longer-duration bonds to fall in price relative to shorter-duration issues.
