Treasury Bond Curve Finally Starting to Steepen
Treasury Bond Curve Finally Starting to Steepen

Re: Treasury Bond Curve Finally Starting to Steepen
I have been watching the US Treasury Yield Curve daily for a while. Rates have inched up and the curve has steepened a bit but so far so good. What I am watching for are signs of inflation. I am watching this like a hawk. I have eased into TIPS a bit over the last few months, making additions bit by bit as TIPS are expensive and are priced for negative real returns after inflation. A steepening curve is a sign of an improving economy and we all want that.
