Historic Yield Curve Inversion Reaches 656 Days, Echoing Pre-Stock Market Crash Patterns Despite the rosy economic outlook, a troubling indicator is flashing red for the U.S. economy. The
inverted 2/10 Treasury yield curve has been defying gravity since July 5, 2022, staying flipped for a whopping 656 consecutive days. This happens when short-term rates outpace long-term ones.
An inverted yield curve is like a storm cloud on the horizon, signaling investor jitters about the future. On Reddit's r/wallstreetbets, savvy traders are taking note, drawing parallels to
2008,
1929, and
1974 – all dark times for stocks.
"The reversion will be interesting," ponders one Redditor. Will long-term rates surge or short-term yields plunge? The debate rages on as market watchers brace for impact.
Geopolitics also play a role. China's distancing itself from U.S. treasuries, while Japan's still in the game – albeit reluctantly. With the Federal Reserve facing a mountain of bond refinancing and Europe potentially cutting rates, it's a high-stakes global chess match.
The numbers don't lie: this isn't just another blip. The yield curve inversion has now outlasted even the
500-day record set back in the day. It's got Wall Street Silver's 1.2 million followers talking – and worrying.
Some see hope in the election cycle, with predictions of a mild correction if Trump triumphs or a bear market if Biden prevails. But history warns us that prolonged inversions have often foreshadowed major downturns – think Great Depression and the 2008 crisis.
With this current inversion clocking in at 656 days and counting, it's hard to ignore the storm clouds gathering on the horizon. Brace yourselves, investors – turbulent times may lie ahead.
