Bonds are not distorted. They are the ‘truth’ and hence the yield curve now really matters

The High Convexity Conviction –  Is The Yield Curve Really Distorted?

 

This report re-examines the US Treasury yield curve. There are two take-aways. First, what drives the yield curve is unambiguously liquidity, and the latest flattening is entirely consistent with the peak and recent fall-back in US liquidity conditions. Second, the efficacy of the yield curve slope as a predictor of the business cycle is improved enormously when it combines, like now, with high convexity. In short, the fixed income markets are exactly on-track and already starting to discount an upcoming US recession.

 

We have also included an article that was later published in the Journal of Fixed Income (Spring 2018).
