Remember when&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisdomtree.com\/blog\/glossary#inverted-yield-curve\">inverted yield curves<\/a>&nbsp;were all the rage, and their historical track record was being highlighted as a sure sign of an eventual recession? Well, here we are, many months since the curves went into negative territory, but as yet, still no&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisdomtree.com\/blog\/glossary#recession\">recession<\/a>. Does that mean inverted curves have lost their way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-u-s-treasury-yield-curves\"><strong>U.S. Treasury Yield Curves<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"404\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/figure-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"U.S. Treasury Yield Curves\" class=\"wp-image-197950 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/figure-1-1.jpg 738w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/figure-1-1-700x383.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/figure-1-1-300x164.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 738px; aspect-ratio: 738\/404;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at the two most widely followed yield constructs: UST 3mo\/10yr and UST 2yr\/10yr. Both these curves went into inverted, or negative, territory last year, but at different times. The 2yr\/10yr spread moved below zero consistently at the end of June, while the 3mo\/10yr differential hit the minus column during the fall of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, both these constructs had been on a one-way trip into deeper and deeper negative territory. Indeed, the degree of inversion has been historical in nature, with the 2s\/10s dropping to a nadir of -109&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisdomtree.com\/blog\/glossary#basis-point\">basis points (bps)<\/a>&nbsp;in March and the 3mo\/10yr plunging to its low point of -191 bps in May. While Treasury yields in general have been on the rise, the inverted nature of the curves was due primarily to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisdomtree.com\/blog\/glossary#federal-reserve\">Fed\u2019s<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisdomtree.com\/blog\/glossary#paul-volcker\">Volcker<\/a>-esque rate hikes. Indeed, the policy makers were pushing the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisdomtree.com\/blog\/glossary#fed-funds-target-range\">Fed Funds target range<\/a>&nbsp;up to levels not seen since the early 2000s, raising short-term rates such as the 3-month&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisdomtree.com\/blog\/glossary#treasury-bill\">t-bill<\/a>&nbsp;and the UST 2-Year note along with it. Meanwhile, the increase in the 10-Year yield could not keep pace\u2026hence the deep inversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let\u2019s fast forward to the present. While the Fed has been keeping the Fed Funds target range at 5.25%\u20135.50%, the 10-Year yield has surged. To provide some perspective, the UST 10-Year has experienced a roughly 100 bps increase since mid-July, with 60\u201370 bps of this rise occurring within the last six weeks. As a result, the aforementioned yield curves have steepened dramatically. For example, the 2s\/10s inversion shrunk by 80 bps to only -28 bps following the jobs report, while the 3mo\/10yr negative spread had re-steepened by an incredible 120 bps to -71 bps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to the inverted yield curves\u2019 forecast ability. A lot has been written about the impressive track record of inverted yield curves predicting past recessions. As a student of history, one needs to respect that. Interestingly, the U.S. economy did post back-to-back negative real GDP readings during Q1 and Q2 last year. However, that was prior to the curves discussed here going negative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Where does that leave us, looking ahead? Well, as I mentioned in the opening, the U.S. economy has thus far avoided a downturn, and available data suggests a recession does not appear to be imminent either. So, just like a lot of other things lately, where the timing keeps getting pushed back, could a negative quarter or two of real&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisdomtree.com\/blog\/glossary#gross-domestic-product\">GDP<\/a>&nbsp;become a 2024 development? Even though Treasury yield curves have dramatically steepened, the two constructs highlighted in this blog post still remain inverted and past Fed tightening policies rarely achieved a soft landing.
