On the Yield Curve, this is a cool site:
politicalcalculations.blogspot.com

It uses Model B from the following paper to estimate the odds of recessions in the next 6 months:

The Yield Curve and Predicting Recessions
federalreserve.gov

The odds of a recession in the next 6 months: 38.4%

The point we are debating (I HOPE) is that a steepening inversion is not generally good for gold but a steeping curve otherwise is.

No question. One day sure doesn't make a trend but maybe the 5 to 30 starting to steepen (as you pointed out the 6 months to 5 year today was flat) is the start.
