As I explained long ago, when short rates are near zero, the yield curve HAS to be upward sloping, because rates can go up but not down. 4/ https://t.co/I7JDqHijFA — PolitiTweet.org

There is, however, a twist right now which makes the inversion even scarier than it looks, at least a bit. Previous inversions took place at much higher short rates -- 5 or 6 percent, versus 2.5 percent now. This matters 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

We're not that close to zero now, but possibly still low enough that some of the same effect persists. The yield curve inversion in 2006 reflected at least some probability that the Fed might cut rates by 500 basis points. Now, it doesn't have 500 bp to cut.5/ — PolitiTweet.org
