KEY POINTS

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note was at 1.623%, below the 2-year yield at 1.634%.

The last inversion of this part of the yield curve was in December 2005, two years before a recession brought on by the financial crisis hit.

A recession occurs, on average, 22 months following such an inversion, according to Credit Suisse.

    Democrats are just trying to destroy Trump’s chances. He is the smartest businessman ever, anywhere.
