The US Treasury yield curve, a critical tool for forecasting economic conditions, has shown significant changes recently. Historically, an inverted yield curve—where short-term interest rates exceed long-term rates—has often predicted economic recessions. This pattern was observed in 2022, raising concerns about a potential downturn. However, with the yield curve returning to its normal upward slope in September 2023, experts are debating whether this shift indicates an imminent recession or if the yield curve's predictive power is waning. This article explores the implications of these recent developments and their potential impact on the economy.
