DON’T DISMISS BEARISH YIELD CURVE DISINVERSION SIGNAL
The recent disinversion of the closely watched two-year, 10-year Treasury yield curve is a sign that an economic downturn is getting closer, a signal that investors shouldn’t dismiss on the belief that things are different this time, according to JPMorgan.
“While inverting the curve sends a warning ~2y in advance of bad times, disinversion has been a more urgent signal, suggesting trouble is only a few months away,” JPMorgan analysts Thomas Salopek and Maggie Zhong said in a recent report.
However, “many are inclined to ignore this signal on the assumption that it’s different this time, as we will be cutting rates due to disinflation.”
A recent increase in unemployment has been blamed partly on the impact of Hurricane Beryl, which struck Houston in July, and thus is not seen as a recession indicator. But, “markets have rightly expressed caution ahead of the recent labor market data; so, we don’t think the disinversion signal should be dismissed outright.”
While high interest rates after an interest rate hiking cycle produce a slowdown, they don’t always lead to a recession. However, PMIs indicate that earnings are worse than consensus estimates and in the most recent earnings season, sales disappointed relative to overall earnings, the bank said.
If companies cut costs in order to improve their earnings numbers, then layoffs can also increase as a cost cutting measure that companies have been avoiding. “As the yield curve bull steepens sharply in such a scenario, that will be the true scary signal,” JPMorgan said.
