It’s all about the lags

LinkedIn/David Rosenberg/7-27-2023

“The fact that Fed-induced curve inversions have presaged recessions 100% of the time in the past is never respected. Always a case of hope triumphing over experience. Thing is — very rarely do recessions occur in the same month as the onset of the inverted yield curve. There are lags, and that typically can be a year or longer. Think back to 2007. But like the story of the boy who cried wolf, the wolf did show up in the end.”

Recessions follow inverted yield curves with a lag
(Grey bars = recessions)
