Real Three-month Yield vs. Recessions
Historically prior to every recession, the three-month yield exceeded inflation by almost 200 basis points since 1960.
Today, the real three-month yield (adjusted for inflation) is just above zero.
If history helps us to predict the future, then this cycle should not end any time soon.
