Jerome Powell Heads to Capitol Hill as Market's Best Recession Gauge Blinks Red
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will begin his first of two days of testimony to lawmakers on Capitol Hill Tuesday in Washington, but while tech stocks have driven the Nasdaq to fresh record highs, and the economy looks to record its best quarterly growth rate in nearly four years, he's still likely to express at least some concern for one of the market's most-trusted prognosticators: the shaped of the so-called yield curve. Formally known as the "term structure of interest rates", but more often referred to as the "curve", the different between short and medium-term bond yields is one of the more accurate forecasters in global finance. For much of the past fifty years, an "inverted curve" -- which occurs when 2-year note yields rise past those for 10-year Treasury bonds -- has preceded nearly every U.S. economic recession.

Dow logs third straight gain, but Nasdaq, S&P 500 sink as energy slump offsets bank rally
The Dow Jones Industrial Average marked its third gain in a row on Monday, but the broader market finished slightly lower as the sell-off in the energy sector weighed on the market. The S&P 500 index (SPX) fell 0.1% at 2,798, with the energy sector falling 1.2% amid a rout in crude-oil futures (CLQ8) while the banking sector enjoyed a bounce as Treasury rates (TMUBMUSD10Y) climbed. Investors focused on second-quarter results, and a summit between President Donald Trump and Russian Vladimir Putin, which drew rebukes from Democrats and Republicans, for treating Putin like an ally.

5 key ways Wall Street and economists think about the yield curve
The yield curve has captured Wall Street—and to a lesser extent Main Street’s—attention in recent weeks. The past nine recessions have been preceded by the inversion of the curve, where short-term Treasury rates exceed their long-term counterparts. Much of the breathless attention on the shape of the curve has centered on the tightening gap between the 2-year (BX:TMUBMUSD02Y) and 10-year Treasury yields (BX:TMUBMUSD10Y) But there are other key pairs that can signal how investors are thinking about where the economy is headed from here.

The U.S. Yield Curve Is Sending the Right Signals: David Ader
When it comes to assessing the outlook for the U.S. economy these days, the discussion usually starts with the bond market’s yield curve. The curve is signaling that the market thinks the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate increases, which are driving short-term yields higher, will not only slow inflation, but could also tip the economy into recession, causing long-term yields to go nowhere or even fall. The point is that the yield curve is not just a signal, but something that could actually weigh on the economy.

[$$] Fiscal hawks’ tales of doom do not fly with the young
America’s new fiscal stimulus package has attracted a chorus of warnings about the risks of rising federal deficits. Some concern is defensible, to the extent that fiscal stimulus now could drain policymakers’ willingness to take further action when the economy really needs it. A prime example of this can be found in the warnings from some fiscal hawks about how financial markets would be overwhelmed by the wave of government bonds needed to fund the stimulus.

JPMorgan's Dimon says 'you're looking for potholes, there are not a lot of things out there'
JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon said he sees few signs that strong domestic economic expansion in its ninth year will be buffeted by factors including Federal Reserve monetary policy and trade-war clashes. Dimon said the prospect of rising rates and a narrowing spread between the 2-year Treasury note (TMUBMUSD02Y) and the 10-year note (TMUBMUSD10Y)--watched as a gauge of a weakening economic outlook by bond buyers and as an accurate recession indicator, when the shorter rate exceeds its longer-term counterpart--aren't creating a lot of consternation for the U.S.'s largest bank by market value. Dimon's comments come after JPMorgan (JPM) reported a profit of $8.3 billion, or $2.29 a share, topping expectations of $2.22 a share among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.

Morgan Stanley expects the inverted yield curve — harbinger of recession — in 2019

Fed will be key to preventing yield curve’s recession prophesy from coming true: investor
If the Federal Reserve wants to stop fearing the inverted yield curve as a recession bellwether, it should learn to stop its rate hikes before they tip above the long-term neutral rate. This also had the effect of lifting short-end Treasury yields close to their long-end counterparts, either making the yield curve very flat, or inverting it altogether.

Why is the bond market shrugging off a six-year high in inflation?
Price pressures can ravage the value of long-dated debt, the corner of the bond market most sensitive to inflation. Rather, current yields at the long end reflect investors’ expectations for consumer prices to turn lower by the end of the year, maintaining a downward trend well into 2019. Standish Mellon’s economists forecast CPI to rise 2.4% for 2018 but cool to 2.3% in 2019.
