Chart Notes and Synopsis

  • On the horizontal axis, F stands for Effective Fed Funds Rate (EFFR). 
  • The 3 and 6 represent months. I extrapolated rates between years equally.
  • A few days ago the 10-year and 30-year bonds inverted and remain inverted.
  • The EFFR is 3.83 percent. It is inverted with every bond of 5-years duration and longer.
  • The Fed will likely hike rates next week by 50 basis points. That would put the EFFR at 4.33% and invert the EFFR with every bond of 2 years duration and longer.
  • The 20-year bond trades little and is an anomaly best ignored, effectively making nearly the entire chart inverted.
