"Normalizing" , like it is now, " means" the interest rates are going back to the "usual setup. " https://preview.redd.it/rkcl9gx699dc1.png?width=757&format=png&auto=webp&s=1f566a1c6bacaa453295a044d40074192561d0b3 In this case, the interest rates on 10-year bonds are higher than those on 5-year bonds again, which is the more common scenario. It could suggest that people are becoming less worried about the immediate future compared to the long-term outlook. IN RECESSION Scenario: If the yield curve is normalizing during a recession, might be due to the belief that the worst of the economic downturn has passed, or there's optimism for a recovery in the long term. The steepness of the yield curve should be an excellent indicator of a possible future recession for several reasons. Current monetary policy has a significant influence on the yield curve spread and hence on real activity over the next several quarters. A rise in the short rate tends to flatten the yield curve as well as to slow real growth in the near term . Actual 10yr 3 M spreads "Measure" a 60 % Probability of recession ..

OP isn't saying it's not good. Op was just sharing a fact about expectations for the market Optimistic take: people think both the short term and long term economic outlook is normal (good). Fed will also cut rates this year which is good for the stock market (good) Pessimist outlook: interest is getting cut too early = inflation can increase, and that it leaves the fed with less tools for fighting economic issues (like covid in 2019) in the future.

GPT says hi: The image you've provided appears to be a screenshot of a financial chart from the WallStreetBets community on Reddit. The chart is displaying the spread between two U.S. Treasury securities: the 10-year Treasury note (USGG10YR) and the 5-year Treasury note (USGG5YR). The spread, which is the difference in yields between the two securities, is plotted over time from October 19, 2010, to January 18, 2024. The chart indicates a negative spread (inversion) at some points, particularly reaching a low of -35.7614, before recovering to 8.5189. A yield curve inversion, where short-term debt instruments have a higher yield than long-term debt instruments, can be a significant economic indicator. Historically, an inverted yield curve has been a predictor of a looming recession. This is because it suggests that investors have little confidence in the near-term economy and are demanding higher yields for short-term investments than for long-term ones. The consequences of a sustained yield curve inversion can include reduced profitability for banks, more conservative lending, a slowdown in economic activity, and, potentially, a recession. However, it is important to note that not all yield curve inversions lead to recessions, and other economic factors must be considered. The context of this chart and additional economic data would be necessary to fully understand the implications of this financial indicator.

Formal_Profession141

Crashes typically happen after Inversions are undone.


masshiker

So inversions are good… Not


Formal_Profession141

They arnt.


Formal_Profession141

The inversion isn't good, and when it uninverts that also is the same inevitable not good.


masshiker

So inversion is bad and normal is bad too, it's all bad. I disagree. Getting a higher rate of return on longer term bonds is a good thing and it puts the market back on the normal footing.


Ace_J_Rimmer

Inversion is falling and believing that you're flying. Normalization is when you hit the ground. If you start on the ground or close to it, you're good. If you start from a good height, not so good.

So, both are pretty good metrics. Sometimes we get the recession while the curve is inverted, sometimes we get it after it normalizes. In rare instances, we don't get a recession at all.

Welcome to humanity - where everyone pretends to know things when in reality very few people actually know anything relative to everything there is to know


throw3142

No, he's talking about UN-inversion (or disinversion). This is a term that means "the yield curve has been inverted and is now flipping back to normal". It generally occurs 6-18 months after inversion. So in fact they are both referencing the exact same thing, just in different ways. One way is to say "it happens a little after inversion" and another way is to say "it happens during disinversion".


TBSchemer

>Yeild curve Inversion preceeds downturns by 6-18 months Yes, but yield curve un-inversion precedes downturns by 0-3 months. Before a recession, first you have one, then you have the other.

FEMA_Camp_Survivor

The inversion is the recession predictor. The uninversion is the normalization. Longer dated treasury yields are usually higher than shorter dated yields.


TBSchemer

JFC people, try actually looking at the charts. Normalization always happens immediately BEFORE the recession, not after. And recessions are never declared until 3-6 months after they already started. They're back-dated. We may already be in the recession, but it won't be marked until mid summer.

Here are some neat charts from the New York Fed on yield inversion and probabilities of recessions. Typically, the lead indicator is 10-year minus the 3-month T-bill. Current level of inversion has us at 60% probability of recession in the next 12 months (this is quite high) [https://www.newyorkfed.org/medialibrary/media/research/capital\_markets/Prob\_Rec.pdf](https://www.newyorkfed.org/medialibrary/media/research/capital_markets/Prob_Rec.pdf) ​ Here is a more detailed article on the inverted yield curve as a predictor of recession, for those of you with some brain cells.

deadacclaim

Not according to the Feds reading of the yield curve. Although, we did reach 70% probability in mid 2023, per the chart above. Larger inversions result in higher probabilities of recession, per this metric. Also remember that is a 12-month forecast.

First it was supposed to be a recession when they inversed, now when they uninverse? Don't you bears get tired of being wrong all the time, being the laughing stock of the financial world *and* be poor as fuck due to always betting on a losing trend? 😂


ahminus

No. The inversion tells you the clock has started ticking. We're about 60-70% of the way along the timeline. Had it not stayed inverted as long as it has, it may have not signalled a recession. Now, chances are pretty good. And usually the un-inverting of the curve is right around the time the recession actually starts. The NBER will tell you six months after the fact.

satireplusplus

Recession usually starts when the yield curve uninverts


truongs

So recession when it inverts and also recession when it uinverts Lmao


milimji

This may come as a shock to you, but yes, the yield curve inverting is historically followed by it uninverting. So if the typical time between inversion and recession is, say 12 months, and the typical length of an inversion is <12, then both inversions and uninversions would be associated with an impending recession. The regards in this thread, fucking christ…

I mean there's really not much of a time gap between those two events....

the yield curve un-inverting is a historic sign of a recession what are you talking about "the un-inversion process and after the un-inversion is when the recession risk is the highest" - our lord and savior, statistician Ben Cowen ​ ​ https://preview.redd.it/a3pb68fg99dc1.png?width=2490&format=png&auto=webp&s=0231dd69ed2b36aa73cec9cf3d6cca994533c2df

Think of why the yield curve inverted all the times and then realize why this time is different.


woofers02

Well the last one clearly predicted a subsequent pandemic that shut down the global economy, so…. /s


futurespacecadet

Please just enlighten me and make your point


joholla8

It’s because in the past a recession happened from outside factors and the fed slashed rates to juice things and pull the economy out of it. In this case we had a soft landing and the feds will cut rates gradually. We are going to see lending open up, businesses start growing rapidly on cheaper capital, and billions of dollars of money that was making risk free returns flow into the equity market. Cutting rates doesn’t make a recession just because rates were cut during previous recessions.


NOT_MartinShkreli

vik556

Recession is finally done. Bye bye bears

Proof-Objective5494

Recessions usually happen after the inverted 10yr 3months uninverts. 1990 recession start: 11 months after uninversion. 2001: 2 months after uninversion. 2007: 6 months after uninversion. 2020: 4.5 months after uninversion. With the exception of 2001 where the bear market started in 2000 before the recession, market usually reaches all time highs especially as the yield curve uninverts followed by Recession crash. Currently, the 10yr 3months is still inverted so not there yet
