The early price gains were linked to an unexpectedly large widening of the U.S. trade gap in December. The significance of the inverted yield curve, which destroys the incentive for making long-term loans, is a subject of debate. Some analysts believe it signals a looming recession, while others think it only indicates heavy global demand for U.S. assets. The benchmark 10-year note last was up 8/32 at 99-28/32 with a yield ($TNX) of 4.518%, contrasting with the 4.478% yield on the 30-year bond and the 4.639% yield of the 30-year bond. The yield on the 6-month bill also was higher than the 10-year and 30-year yield, last standing at 4.681%
