The bank also benefited from the recent rise in interest rates, allowing it to charge more for customers to borrow. There's a concern among investors about a recent development in the bond market known as a "flattening" of the yield curve.

A flattening yield curve can also be a precursor for what's known as an inverted yield curve, which is when investors pay less for long-term rates and more for short-term rates. An inverted yield curve has historically been a reliable indicator of an economic downturn or impending recession.
