LONDON - The U.S. Treasury bond yield curve inverted on Wednesday for the first time since 2007, in a sign of investor concern that the world’s biggest economy could be heading for recession.
“Historically the U.S. curve was always thought of as a recession signal and it remains to see if that’s still the case. The world certainly seems a less safe place,” said Tim Graf, chief macro strategist at State Street Global Advisors. “The yield curve inversion is a bad omen for the economy,” said Arne Petimezas, an analyst at AFS in Amsterdam.
Britain’s bond yield curve also inverted on Wednesday for the first time since the global financial crisis GB2GB10=RR.
