How low will the US Treasury 10y-2y yield curve go?
As of today, the US Treasury 10yr-2yr yield curve is the most inverted since 1981 at -70 basis points.
I am disappointed that The New York Times cancelled their $2,400 event to listen to Sam The Sham Bankman-Fried, Vlad “Show my your money!” Zelensky, Larry “The Big Fink” Fink and Janet “We never saw it coming” Yellen. I would have loved to do the New York Times job for them and ask hard questions to Sam The Sham and Zelensky about money laundering.

Is there a particular reason so many can’t even correctly spell the Ukrainian President’s name?

“It’s Zelenskyy”
Well, since Ukrainian uses the Cyrillic alphabet and not the Latin one, that is not actually the correct spelling.

It’s all transliterations from foreign languages, which morph over time due to politics, etc. Beijing was Peking. Mumbai was Bombay. Iran was Persia.
