Version 0.34 (2024-06-28 04:54:14.134000)

updates: The US yield curve inversion has reached a new record of almost two years. Despite the prolonged inversion, a recession has not materialized, and the US economy continues to perform well. Economists attribute this to high consumer savings and the Federal Reserve's management of last year's banking turmoil. The current inversion of the yield curve in the US is seen more as a sign that the old growth 'boom times' will not return so quickly. [98b348f6]

Version 0.31 (2024-06-06 22:55:28.926000)

updates: The US Treasury yield curve inversion has reached a new record length, but a recession has not materialized. The yield curve has been inverted for 624 days, surpassing the previous record of 419 days set in 1980. The lack of recession is attributed to high consumer savings and the Federal Reserve's actions to stabilize the banking sector. Despite the prolonged inversion, the US economy continues to perform well. Some market watchers have abandoned the yield curve indicator as a predictor of recession, while others remain proponents of it. The yield curve is now shifting, with long-term yields rising and short-term yields remaining unchanged. The possibility of a bear steepening and a return to a normal yield curve is being considered. Recent months have seen a moderation in recession calls as the US economy continues to expand and unemployment remains low. The inverted yield curve, which traditionally signals a recession, has been in place for the longest stretch on record, but the recession has not materialized. The yield curve doesn't normalize until something significant changes, such as signs of economic slowing, a geopolitical shock, a housing market crash, or a stock market bubble bursting. Economic warning signs are flashing, but the trillions of dollars of pandemic-fighting monetary and fiscal stimulus have delayed the effects of the yield curve. The jobless rate could rise if GDP growth falls below potential.

Version 0.15 (2024-02-29 00:17:13.359000)

updates: The article highlights that while the bond yield curve has been inverted for 16 months, a catalyst for a recession is missing. It mentions that past recessions were triggered by events like Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the bursting of the dot-com bubble, and the global pandemic. The likelihood of a soft landing or a hard landing downturn is debated by top commentators.

Version 0.14 (2024-02-24 10:18:16.543000)

Recession fears have melted away.

Version 0.13 (2024-02-24 10:17:09.758000)

updates: The bond market signals a possible recession by the end of next month

Version 0.12 (2024-02-13 01:24:54.544000)

updates: The article highlights the persistence of the yield curve inversion despite strong economic growth, low unemployment, and falling inflation rates in the US. It suggests that the Federal Reserve Board may have been too aggressive in raising interest rates and is now being too cautious in bringing them down. Recent commentary from Fed board members indicates a shift in the goal posts for rate cuts, with a focus on a widespread fall in inflation across the economy. Bond investors appear more cautious than sharemarket investors, seeking extra compensation for the perceived increased risk. The risk of leaving monetary policies too tight for too long could lead to economic slowdowns and recessions. The US economy's trajectory will depend on the actions of the Fed over the next few months. [00f1a217]
