    Part of the yield curve inverted on Monday. When the bond market is healthy, yields are higher for bonds with a longer time to maturity. Investors expect a bigger reward for lending their money for a longer time, giving the “yield curve” an upward sloping shape. When the curve inverts, short-term bonds pay a higher yield than long-term ones. It’s a distortion in the market.
    ...
    An inversion in the yield curve suggests bond investors are worried about the economy’s long-term prospects. Investors pay most attention to the spread between the two-year U.S. Treasury and the 10-year U.S. Treasury. That curve isn’t yet flashing a warning sign. However, the five-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury yields inverted on Monday, the first time since 2006.
    ...
    The two- and 10-year Treasury yield curves inverted before the last seven recessions since 1970. However, data suggest a recession is unlikely to be imminent if one materializes.
