LONDON (Reuters) - Hedge funds are doubling down on their bets that the
U.S. yield curve will steepen, just as it flattens to within 20 basis
points of inversion, historically a sure-fire indication that the
economy is headed for a slowdown.

Whether slowdown morphs into recession, as every curve inversion in the
last 45 years has reliably predicted, is almost irrelevant for those
betting on the shape of the curve. What matters is theyre on the wrong
side of the trade and losing money. Fast.

We are way overdue for a correction. Trump managed to maintain the
bull for almost 2 years longer than it was predicted to run but the
pullback is coming.


Yup.


A am a little mad that I listened to all of those never trumper people
who predicted the crash last year so I have been sitting on the side
on cash waiting for it.


IDK why you would listen to people predicting a crash.


The stock market crashes on uncertainty and fear. Trump was sold us to
as the king of uncertainty and fear.
