Having disproven the “yield curve is not inverted so there cannot be a recession anytime soon” meme, we thought the following chart of a much more macro-economic-data-related indicator that appears to be a useful timing tool for suggesting recessionary conditions exist would provide some more useful context than an articially-manipulated ‘market’ interest rate.
