Wow, now the fear is slowing growth. The market can't seem to catch a break lately. Closed right at the low too, so a bad omen. Well at least HDGE is perking up, close to 5% gain today.

Lots of talk about the inverted yield curve -

>>> The bond market, for its part, began the month by flashing a recessionary warning sign. An inversion of a section of the U.S. Treasury yield curve occurred for the first time since 2007 on Monday, with the yield on the 5-year Treasury note falling below the yield on the 3-year note. An inversion also occurred between the yields on the 2- and 5-year notes, meaning that investors were paid more to hold the U.S. government debt with the shorter maturity.

This in part helped send equities into a sell-off as investors feared a similar inversion of the closely monitored 2- and 10-year yields. An inversion of the 2- and the 10-year yield has preceded every U.S. recession since World War II. However, the difference between the 2- and the 10-year yield remains upwardly sloped, albeit flattening. As of 4:15 p.m. ET, the difference between the 2-year and 10-year yields narrowed to 11.5 basis points, having hit the lowest level in more than 11 years intraday on Tuesday. <<<
