Uh oh...The yield curve is flattening.
If it inverts...watch out.
The Flattening Yield Curve Just Produced Its First Inversions
A section of the U.S. Treasuries yield curve just inverted for the first time in more than a decade.
The spread between 3- and 5-year yields fell to negative 1.4 basis points Monday, dropping below zero for the first time since 2007, and the 2- to 5-year gap soon followed. The 2- to 10-year is more closely watched as a potential indicator of pending recessions. But Monday’s move could be the first signal that the market is putting the Federal Reserve on notice that the end of its tightening cycle is approaching.
30-year Treasury yield logs largest daily decline in more than 6 months
U.S. government debt on Tuesday extended a yield retreat that has pushed closely watched spreads between short- and longer-dated maturities to their narrowest levels in more than a decade, raising fresh concerns about the domestic economic outlook.
