Last week, the entire US yield curve inverted (a diffusion index of all spreads is shown below via ISABELNET.com since 1981), with the one-month Treasury yield rising above the 30-year Treasury yield.

The spread on two and 10-year Treasury bonds widened to -71bp–the most negative since before the double dip recession of the early 1980s (shown below courtesy of The Daily Shot).

 

At the same time, the spread between three-month and 10-year Treasury bonds (below via Jay Kaeppel from 1960 to November 15) ended Friday at -52bp, approaching the -64bp peak spread in February 2007 before the Great Recession began in December 2007.
