In most cases, the market holds up for a bit, but with the exception of the 1998 cycle (which followed a barely visible inversion), equities have had drawdowns of -11% to -51% in the months that follow. Be careful what you wish for when it comes to Fed pivots. /END

But now that the curve has likely reached its most-inverted state, we have a bit more clarity on what might happen next. The chart shows the percent change in the S&P 500 following peak inversions. /3

While yield curve inversions have a perfect track record in predicting a recession, the signals are frustratingly disparate in terms of the lead time and magnitude of outcome. /2
