Classifier guide
Bull steepener

Short yields fall faster than long yields—often easing expectations, disinflation, or growth concern.

Bear steepener

Long yields rise faster—often stronger nominal growth, inflation risk, or a higher term premium.

Bull flattener

Long yields fall faster—often softer long-run expectations or demand for safe duration.

Bear flattener

Short yields rise faster—often a more restrictive near-term central-bank path.

“Bull” means yields fell and “bear” means yields rose; it is bond-market language, not a judgment that the economic news is good or bad. Classifier thresholds are descriptive and are not a calibrated forecasting model.
