Historic Inversion: Deepest Spread between 2- and 10-year Treasuries since '81

The spread between the 2-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury note yields reached its deepest inversion since 1981, reflecting concerns that an extended Federal Reserve rate hiking cycle could lead to a recession. Market participants have priced in the possibility of additional rate hikes this year to control inflation, but futures markets now project rate cuts starting in January. A yield curve inversion, where shorter-dated Treasuries have higher yields than longer-dated securities, has historically preceded recessions. The spread between 2 and 10-year Treasuries has been inverted since July 2018.

Central Bankers Prepare for Inflation Battle as Recession Fears Loom

Bank of America suggests that the US could experience a significant drop in inflation without entering a recession. The inverted Treasury yield curve, which has historically signaled a downturn, is now indicating a hard landing for inflation rather than the economy. The difference between the yields on the 2-year and 10-year Treasury recently reached its steepest inversion in over 40 years. However, the indicator is more reflective of declining inflation expectations, and the US economy is likely to avoid a steep downturn. Investors are anticipating the Federal Reserve to gradually reduce interest rates, indicating a softer landing rather than a high risk of recession.

Fed Chair Expects Inflation to Remain Low Despite Government Spending

Bank of America strategists suggest that the US could experience a significant drop in inflation without entering a recession, pointing to the inverted Treasury yield curve as an indicator. While the curve has historically signaled an impending downturn, this time it reflects a hard landing for inflation rather than the economy. The bank believes that the US economy will likely avoid a steep downturn, as forward real yields indicate expectations of a softer landing and a slow pullback on interest rates by the Federal Reserve. Investors have been concerned about a potential recession as the Fed raised interest rates, but the bank's analysis suggests that inflation may cool significantly without triggering a recession.
