US Yield Curve No Longer Inverted: Why This Time The Recession Scenario Might Be Different For Investors

By Piero Cingari – Benzinga

The U.S. Treasury yield curve officially exited its prolonged inversion on Friday, Sept. 6. This marks the end of over two years when short-term yields were higher than those on long-term bonds — a rare and closely watched economic phenomenon.

As of Monday, the 10-year Treasury yield stood at 3.72%, with the two-year at 3.65%. That’s a spread of 7 basis points (bps). The question now is what this shift means for the economy, markets, and Federal Reserve policy.
