Parallel shift in the yield curve Parallel shift in the yield curveA shift in economic conditions in which the change in the interest rate on all maturities is the same number of basis points. In other words, if the three month T-bill increases 100 basis points (one %), then the 6-month, 1-year, 5-year, 10-year, 20-year, and 30-year rates all increase by 100 basis points as well. Related: Non-parallel shift in the yield curve.Parallel Shift in the Yield CurveA change in the yield curve for bonds with different maturities in which the changes in yields occur evenly. For example, given a yield curve for bonds with one-year, five-year, and 10-year maturities, a parallel shift in the yield curve occurs when the yields for all three bonds increase 10 basis points each.
