AA, I don't think there is an official definition of an inverted yield curve, though yours would definitely have to be considered inverted by any standard. I consider it an actually inverted yield curve when any Treasury security out yields the 30 year bond. I consider it dangerously inverted when T-Bills out yield the 30 year, and we are not even close on that count. Right now we have an oddball curve where every T-Note out yields the bond, and the 5 year out yields the 10 year. That may not be inverted in the classic sense, but it sure looks scary to me, at least temporarily.
