Don't get carried away

We are currently facing a phenomenon known as yield curve inversion. What this means?
Let’s start by explaining what the yield is, before talking about its inversion.
The yield is the interest rate at which bonds are being issued. The “yield” in yield curve inversion refers to the US Treasury Yield, which reflects the effective rate at which the US government is borrowing money. The "curve" refers to the curved line you see when you plot a graph of intrrest rate vs maturity. In a healthy economy, this curve is upward sloping, since more time to return money = more risk. However in recent times, the 2 year yield curve and the 10 year yield curve are pretty much the same. This is usually a sign of economic recession; since it shows that the demand of the 10 year yield curve is so much higher than the 2 year. Ie. Investors have no confidence in the short term outlook of the economy.
But who knows right? Nowadays the market surprises us with all sorts of new things.
