How the flying fuck do bond rates go below the FED funds rate? In what universe does that make sense?
How bad is this recession going to be this time, /liberty/?
Also, what should I do to prepare?

The Fed funds rate is only for overnight loans to banks.

The Fed doesn't really have the power to control the long term rates despite their bond purchase fuckery.

Imagine great depression back in 1929 x 10 times worst. That what's coming in the near future.

The U.S. yield curves are hella inverted at the moment, that's a very traditional indicator of recession.

It's flat, only the 5 year is inverted.

You're proving the other poster right, but you're saying this like you're disproving the other poster.

The yield curve inversion that usually leads to recession is when the 10 year yield is below the 2 year one because everyone is buying into the longer term assets and forgoing the shorter term ones.
