Every time this has happened in the last few decades has been accompanied with a recession

I’d like to think I know what I’m looking at. But what am I looking at?

Interest rate paid by the government if you buy their treasury bills. You can buy various time frames. I've listed one month, two month and 3 month compared to a 10-year treasury.

We started the year with almost 0% interest and now we are at 4%.. The 10-year treasury bill is paying less than the shorter term treasuries. This often happens before a recession.

buying and selling treasury bills looks very tricky; how would you recommend the process be done?

There are some good YouTube videos on how to do this. It's actually quite easy and safer than buying stocks when interest rates are rising. Especially, if you stay with short term bills. All of the major brokerages allow you to buy treasuries.

I plan on staying in short-term treasuries and wait for longer term interest rates to rise.

what website did u use to make this?

Ah…so it’s the yield curve inverting over the year. That makes sense now. Thank you
