Those SOB's in the government will distort anything that suggests that inflation is present and add liquidity in all kinds of ways to the market. Its 1984 Clinton style.

February 14, 2000 Summary Last week, U.S. bond markets saw the emergence of a strange yield curve with the yield of 30-year Treasury bonds falling below earlier maturities. While there is argument over what this meant – whether it meant anything at all – the yield curve is one of several indicators suggesting that a recession is in the making. At the very least, the yield curve has flattened dramatically, and it seems to us that most market forces are driving toward an inverted yield curve. There are other signs, too.
