<An inverted yield curve is the PRIMARY signal for a recession.>

How do you know this? I need to know more about why you believe this before I believe it.

GST,

My understanding is that a complete inverted yield curve usually precedes recession and bear market. But right now the yield curve is only half reversed. Do you have any historical data to correlate a half reversed yield curve to market direction?

Ease up, GST. Macroeconomic experts like you should know better.

The Treasury yield curve slopes down on the long end because of a shortage of debt supply at those maturities due to the budget surplus.

The same is not true of the corporate bond market.
