| If the shape of the current yield curve is unusual, nonparallel shift of the yield curve should also be considered. |
| Various interest rate scenarios are projected including decreasing and increasing interest rates including parallel and nonparallel yield curve shifts. |
| Key rate duration methods use smaller buckets than typical duration methods and will normally be less risky than duration matching methods, particularly for large parallel and nonparallel movements in the yield curve. |
| An accurate comparison of the lengths of two parallel lines AB and CD can be made, whereas if an attempt is made to compare the nonparallel lines A′B′ and C′D′, quite large errors occur. |
| Typically the index and middle fingers move inward on nonparallel planes so as to approach the thumb in a three-jaw chuck fashion. |
| Parallel and nonparallel shifts in the yield curve, both on a sudden and on a gradual basis, should be considered. |
