Summary Powell pointed out that the yield curve is not inverted yet if you look at the 3 month/10-year Treasury spread. The 2-10 spread is more inverted than any of the most recent (Greenspan or Bernanke) inversions, but it has not gotten as bad as the Volcker inversions, which we...
Summary The trend for the dollar and the 10-year Treasury yield is still up but, as I said last week, both appear to be hitting a short-term peak. US stocks were down last week but non-US stocks had a great week. The selloff in the dollar Friday goosed non-dollar returns by nearly...

Summary Money supply growth fell again in September, dropping to a 37-month low. Money supply growth can often be a helpful measure of economic activity, and an indicator of coming recessions. Since January of this year, the Fed has raised the target federal funds rate from .2...
Summary In recent decades, every instance in which the economy contracted two quarters in a row has coincided with a recession. The Fed tends to keep an even closer eye on the 10-year/3-month spread, and even that is now pointing to recession as well. The Fed has temporarily s...
Summary There is a whole generation of investors who have never experienced UST yields at these elevated levels. The rise in yields has been across the maturity spectrum, with the closely followed 2-, 5- and 10-year notes all experiencing surging yields thus far in 2022. Highe...
