Yield Inversion 5 and 30 year USA bonds
2022-03-29
[CNBC] U.S. 5-year and 30-year Treasury yields on Monday inverted for the first time since 2006, raising fears of a possible recession.

The yield on the 5-year Treasury note rose to 2.56 percent, while the 30-year yield fell to 2.55 percent. This is the first time the shorter-dated 5-year Treasury yield has risen above that of the longer-dated 30-year U.S. government bond since 2006 — just a couple of years before the Global Financial Crisis.

The main yield spread that traders watch — the spread between the 2-year and the 10-year rate — remained positive for now.

#1  There is only one way to choke off inflation once it gets started, and that is with a rip-roaring recession. See 1979-82.
