The relationship between the 10- and 2-year Treasury yield briefly normalized Wednesday, reversing a classic recession indicator.
However, a normalization of the curve does not necessary signal good times ahead. In fact, the curve usually does revert before a recession hits, meaning the U.S. could still be in for some rough economic waters ahead. At the same time, Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic released comments, around the same time the job openings report dropped, indicating that he's ready to start reducing rates even with inflation running above the central bank's 2% goal.
