The yield curve inversion, specifically between the 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields, has been a hot topic ever since it flipped in mid-2022 and stayed inverted until late 2024. What does this all mean for the economy and what can we learn from the past? Let’s start with a quick recap of what an inverted yield curve actually signifies. The yield curve plots interest rates of bonds of different maturities, and when short-term rates, like the 2-year, rise above long-term rates, like the 10-year, it usually indicates that investors are nervous about the economy's future. This phenomenon has a long history as a predictor of recessions, with every U.S. recession since 1969 following an inversion of this 2s10s spread, typically between six to twenty-four months later.
