While the 10-year yield captures longer-term growth and inflation expectations, the 2-year yield is almost entirely driven by anticipated Fed policy over the near term. It is often described as the &ldquo;Fed expectations yield&rdquo; because it moves in near-lockstep with changes in the expected federal funds rate trajectory. The 2-year yield is also a critical component of the Treasury yield curve, and its relationship with the 10-year yield (the &ldquo;2s10s spread&rdquo;) is one of the most watched recession indicators in all of finance. An inverted yield curve, where the 2-year yield exceeds the 10-year, has historically preceded every US recession.</p>
