Investopedia explains 'Bull Steepener'
A steepener differs from a flattener in that a steepener widens the yield curve while a flattener causes long-term and short-term rates to move closer together. When the yield curve is said to be a bull steepener it means that the higher spread is caused by the short-term rates, not long-term rates.
