Don’t Be Misled By The Low US Unemployment Rate, It Goes Low Just Prior To A Recession (Treasury Curve Remains Deeply Inverted, Mortgage Rates Rise)

by confoundedinterest17

Biden’s State of the Union address saw him bragging about his record job creation (actually, it was the private sector, not Biden than created jobs) and historic unemployment rate. What Biden didn’t mention (along with not discussing the porous Mexican border with fentanyl pouring across or why he failed to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon until after it has passed over numerous military reservation) is that the unemployment rate always hit a low point just prior to a recession.

So, here we sit at 3.4% unemployment. But we also see the US Treasury yield curves (10Y-3M and 10Y-2Y) remaining deeply inverted.

The US Treasury 10-year yield is up 5.5 basis points today.

And Bankrate’s 30-year mortgage survey rate is up slightly today.
