An AI That Answers Anything

Trained by a J.P. Morgan banker, it's the AI that understands IB interviews best, not generic ChatGPT, but the answers a real banker would give you.

The Fed & rates
“What can you tell me about the current interest rates and the yield curve?”
Lead with

The current 10-year yield is 4.75%, and the 2/10 spread is 47 basis points, indicating a healthy economic outlook.

  • The 10-year Treasury yield is at 4.75%. This is a long-term interest rate, often used as a benchmark.
  • The 2-year Treasury yield is at 4.28%. This is a short-term interest rate, which is more sensitive to changes in the Fed's policy.
  • The difference between these two rates, known as the 2/10 spread, is 47 basis points (0.47%). A positive spread indicates a normal yield curve, suggesting economic growth.

Walk In Market-Ready

A daily brief of the deals, sector moves, and headlines interviewers actually ask about, refreshed around the clock. Each story comes with why it matters and how to talk about it, so you're never caught flat.
