Analysis

Massive Curve Steepening Screams Stagflation Repricing

The 2-year yield collapsed 2.71% to 3.66% while the 10-year rose 0.39% to 4.62%, producing a spread of +96bp — an extraordinarily steep curve that reflects the market pricing aggressive near-term cuts alongside persistent long-end inflation risk. This is the classic stagflationary configuration: growth expectations deteriorating at the front end while term premium builds at the back end. For risk assets, this is the worst of both worlds — declining growth without the disinflationary relief that would let the Fed ease aggressively enough to backstop equities.
