Back to flat from normal yesterday. I think according to StockChart's Dynamic Yield curve chart we had one day of being inverted but I can't even find that now.

But there are still some areas where the inversion between short term rates and longer term ones is still in place despite bonds starting to move higher. Look at the 6 month versus the five and ten year bonds:

Then look down towards the bottom of this page to help decide where we are at in the economic cycle.

The FED is still raising rates rapidly and bond yields are attempting a breakout. The yield curve has been flat/inverted. Consumer expectations are still high but falling. Industrial production remains in expansion mode but not necessarily overheated or definitely slowing. So basically we are still in full recovery mode with strong hints at an economic slowdown.
