>Aphorisms aside, yield curve inversion is rare.

^^^This guy/gal gets it. The 10-2 treasury yield spread is currently at 0.16 and has been steadily falling since the beginning of 2014. Since the 1950s, every time the 10-2 spread dipped below zero, a recession followed within two years.[1]

The Fed just announced another rate hike less than an hour ago and have indicated that there will be two more rate hikes in 2019.[2] As the federal funds rate continues to rise, the yield curve will continue to flatten.
