Relentless Yield Curve Flattening

Most economists expect the Fed will hike at least twice more this year. If so, portions of the yield curve may invert.

Basis Point Spreads

  • 3-month to 1-year: 36
  • 1-year to 2-year: 23
  • 2-year to 3-year: 15:
  • 3-year to 5-year: 19
  • 5-year to 10-year: 16
  • 1–year to 30-year: 32

If the fed hikes twice more this year, with the one-year yield at 2.11 and the 3-month yield at 1.75, there is little room for anything but inversion or a nearly flat curve if rates on the long end fail to rise.
