Welcome to the Broken Pie Chart Podcast Episode 2 Yield Curve Explained. In this episode we will explore what the yield curve is, how the difference between short term interest rates and long-term interest rates can change the shape and look of the yield curve. We also touch on why everyone seems to be talking about potential yield curve inversions and what that means for the economy. Discussion builds around giving some historical perspective on past recessions in the US where we saw a yield curve inversion prior to it although how far before is another story. While many perceive a yield curve inversion as a good predictor of a potential future recession, undoubtably in a post zero interest rate environment enabled by the Federal Reserve Bank in the post 2008 Great Recession world, some may argue that this time is different. We’ll look to cover why it may or may not matter this time.
