Strategists at State Street Global Advisors stated that the yield curve may not be as attractive as it appears on the surface. In a report, they remarked: "If we are indeed entering a market environment more similar to that of the 2000s, it is notable that the current yield curve does not seem particularly steep." They pointed out that if the market starts to price in a higher term premium, yields may face further upward pressure. In their view, the rise in government bond yields is one of the most significant developments in the fixed income market in recent years. They stated: "Nevertheless, although bond yields have become more attractive, we do not believe that the case for extending duration has become significantly more compelling."
