U.S. yield curve inversion highlights recession fears, Fed dilemma

NEW YORK - When the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates last month for the first time in more than a decade, it signaled that further reductions in borrowing costs might not be needed. Bond markets vehemently disagree.

Fears are also rising the Fed may not only be behind the curve in cutting rates, but that central banks may be running out of ammunition to stimulate growth as countries offset each other’s attempts to boost growth with looser fiscal policy. The inversion rattled investors already worried that a U.S.-China trade war might trigger a global recession and kill off a decade-long bull market on Wall Street. Major U.S. stock indexes were down about 2%.

The U.S. central bank looks better placed to ease conditions than many of its counterparts as it still has room to cut rates. Bond markets are priced for two additional U.S. rate cuts this year and a third in the first half of next year.

This is such BS. Economy and wages strong. Stop stroking fears.

Cut rates yet again to keep up the lie

No worries. Since when has anything run by realDonaldTrump been hit by total financial ruin?

Yield curve is being created artificially. It’s just like saying inflations is 2%. Nothing but lies and fabricated dust in the wind.

For the first time since 2007: First, we have the 3-month/10-year yield curve inverting. Now, we have the 2-year/10-year yield curve inverting. The inverted yield curve has preceded every US recession in the past 50 years. TrumpRecession

Economists have been wrong for 220 years about economics, and those that powerful people listen to have been saying ridiculous things for the past 40 years.

Need to dissemble the fed! Crooks!!

The stable financial genius probably thinks yield curve inversion is a costmetic surgery the former mistress and escort had

The buffoon in chief is worried. He just lashed out at everyone except the real culprit.
