Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Which of the following factors show signs of an impending recession?
Correct
Solution: c)
The clearest signal that a recession is under way, economists say, would be a steady rise in job losses and a surge in unemployment.
Many economists also monitor changes in the interest payments, or yields, on different bonds for a recession signal known as an “inverted yield curve.” This occurs when the yield on the 10-year Treasury falls below the yield on a short-term Treasury, such as the 3-month T-bill. That is unusual. Normally, longer-term bonds pay investors a richer yield in exchange for tying up their money for a longer period.
Inverted yield curves generally mean that investors foresee a recession that will compel the Fed to slash rates. Inverted curves often predate recessions.
